How to Add a PDF File
For some projects or assignments, users may need to add a PDF file to another PDF in order to create what is described as a PDF Portfolio. This is useful when needing to add additional files to a business proposal or presentation without the hassle of re-writing, cutting or pasting.
Adobe Acrobat offers the simple Combine Files function that will allow users to add PDF files into a PDF portfolio.
There are many advantages in choosing to combine your files in a PDF portfolio:
- You can add and delete files easily without resorting to their original destination.
- You can choose to print the portfolio or a single added file.
- You can edit the Individual files without making any changes to the rest of the files.
- The changes you make to the added file are not automatically prescribed to the same in its original location.
- You can search for words and navigate comments and attachments in more than one file at once.
To add a PDF file:
Select Combine Files> Assemble PDF Portfolio from the Acrobat 9 Pro toolbar menu.
Select Add Files located at the bottom of the next window.
Browse for and select the PDF files to add by clicking on Open.
Edit the PDF portfolio in the side panel. Add portfolio features like a specific Layout, Welcome Header, Colour Scheme, and File Details.
Once all is set, select Publish and select how you want to share or save the file.
