How to Merge PDF
When manipulating PDF content, you need to be efficient. This is especially true when transferring content from one PDF to another. There are times when you simply need to stitch content from two PDF files together. While your first instinct is to extract your information and then recreate another PDF file, it is not the best time saver.
In applications like MS Word, it is only a matter of simply copying and pasting content from one Word file into another. Yet dealing with the hard-to-edit PDF format calls for a much more sophisticated solution. It requires that you merge your PDF files. In Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, you can easily combine two PDF files together into a single PDF document. You can use the Combine function to merge two already existing PDF files.
To start combining PDF files:
Open Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Choose Combine from the File menu or choose the Combine icon from the main toolbar.
Choose Merge files into a single PDF.
Locate the files you wish to merge by clicking the Add Files icon. Also, ensure that the Single PDF format is selected in the right hand side of the dialogue box.
- If merging two non-PDF documents, such as an Excel or Word document, the merging process will automatically convert them to PDFs.
Click on Options at the bottom of the dialogue box for additional merging options. Click on OK when your settings are selected.
Click on the Combine Files button on the bottom of the Combine Files dialogue box.
Once the files are converted, a Save As dialogue box will appear. Rename and save your newly merged PDF file (also called a binder).
