When manipulating PDF content, you need to be efficient. This is especially true when transferring content from one PDF to another or when the data you want to analyze is placed in multiple PDF files. 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 or in other words to combine PDFs.
In PDF Converter Elite 5, you can easily merge multiple PDF files together into a single PDF document. You can use that function to merge two or more already existing PDF files or the specific pages of those files.
