Open Adobe Acrobat.

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.
Combining files rarely makes the file size smaller. Acrobat just puts the files together. If your combined PDF is too large, you should compress it after you combine the files. Acrobat has a 'Optimize PDF' tool that can help reduce the file size without losing too much quality.
If your original documents already have page numbers, combining them will likely result in restarted page numbers for each new document section. For example, if you combine two documents, each will start numbering from page 1. To fix this, you can add continuous page numbers to the entire combined PDF after the merge is complete, which will override the old numbering.
In Adobe Acrobat, 'combining' and 'merging' PDFs usually mean the same thing. Both terms refer to the process of taking several separate PDF files and joining them together into one single PDF document. The feature is called 'Combine files' in Acrobat's menu.
Yes, you can combine many different types of files, not just PDFs. Acrobat's 'Combine files' feature can convert and merge Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, images (like JPGs), and even web pages into a single PDF. You just add them to the list like you would a PDF, and Acrobat handles the conversion during the combine process.
