Open Adobe Acrobat.
Go to File > Combine Files.
Click Add Files and select the PDF files you want to merge.
Arrange the files in your desired order by dragging and dropping them within the list.
Click Combine to merge the selected files into a single PDF document.
Save the new combined PDF to your preferred location.
You can preview and reorder files before combining to ensure the final PDF is in the correct sequence.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
This can happen if there's a problem with the structure of your original files. Acrobat might struggle to read all of them correctly. To fix this, try re-saving each source file using 'Save As' to refresh its internal structure. Adding files one by one can also help Acrobat process each document properly and avoid this issue.
The 'Combine PDF' operation in the Adobe API is a way for computer programs to automatically merge up to 20 different files into one PDF document. Developers can use this to build tools that combine files without needing to open Acrobat manually. It also allows specifying page ranges for each file.
No, if your original files already have printed page numbers, combining them will result in page numbers that restart with each new document. For example, if you combine two documents, both starting at page 1, your combined PDF will have two sets of 'page 1'. You will need to add new, continuous page numbers to the combined PDF after it is created to have a single, flowing sequence.
The order of your files is very important. When you combine them, Acrobat merges them from top to bottom based on how you arrange the small pictures (thumbnails). Always drag the thumbnails to put your files in the exact order you want them to appear in the final PDF document.
