Combine or merge files into single PDF
Create merged PDFs
Combine most file types — even rich media — into a single, organized PDF. You can merge Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
audio, video, or web pages, as well as existing PDFs. Acrobat lets you preview and arrange the documents and pages
before creating the file. You can delete unwanted pages and move individual pages from a document anywhere among
the pages being combined. Acrobat converts the pages of the various files into sequential pages of a single PDF.
1 Choose Tools > Pages > Combine Files Into PDF.
The Combine File dialog box lets you work in two different views:
Thumbnail view Displays a preview of the pages. It lets you quickly rearrange documents and pages by dragging
the thumbnail images.
List view
Lists information about each file. It lets you sort the files by any of the fields, such as name, size, or modification date.
2 Drag files or emails directly into the Combine Files dialog box. Alternatively, choose an option from the Add Files
menu. You can add a folder of files, a web page, any currently open files, items in the clipboard, pages from a scanner,
or a file you combined previously (Reuse Files).
