How can I combine multiple pdfs into one document?

I need to consolidate multiple docs into one.  How do I do that?

It's pretty easy. Open multiple PDF documents in Apple Preview that came with your Mac. Choose View/Thumbnails so you can see the page thumbnail icons. Select any number (or all) of the page thumbnail icons of one document and drag them to any point in the thumbnails of another document.
For example you can drag page 6 of one PDF between pages 40 and 41 of another PDF doc. But it sounds like you want to select all pages of one PDF and drag them to the end of another PDF doc.
If you need more powerful document combining you can use PDFpen or Adobe Acrobat Professional, but they cost money.

  • How do I combine several pdfs into one document?

    I just switched to Yosemite, and now I cannot figure out how to combine several pdfs into one document. I rarely need to do this, so I looked at past tutorials, but nothing seems to work. Help!

    I don't understand - I've just tried it and it worked. I had 2 multi-page pdfs, opened both in Preview, followed my earlier post and saved the new pdf. The saved file is multi-page

  • How can I combine multiple calendars into one calendar?

    I've been using iCal for a very long time, upgraded to iCloud, when it was fully operational.  In addition to my personal calendar, I have used several different calendars for different kinds of  business activities.  However, I am not at a point, where tracking different business related activites is no longer necessary.  So, I would like to know how to combine all the unnecessary calendars into a single business calendar.  I want to be able to transfer my entire calendar history from all the calendars to a single calendar.
    Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

    For each calendar, from the File menu choose 'Export...' then 'Export...'; from the sub-menu. This will create an .ics file at the location chosen in the Export dialog.
    From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
    You will get a pane with a drop-down menu - choose the calendar you want to add this data to.
    Be aware that this procedure can't be undone.

  • How can I combine multiple presentations into one presentation? Please help

    Hello,
    I have a task that I am unsure how to complete.
    I have 200 keynote presentations consisting of one slide each.
    Of these slides, about 20-40 relate to a catagory. I have about 8 catagories.
    For each catagory, I would like to take all the presentations that pertain to it and create one presentation out of all of them, and add a 'next' button on each slide. So, end result is 8 presentations for each catagory, with 20-40 slides each.
    First, I have no idea how to easily merge presentations together. For each catagory, the slides do have to be in alphabetical order.
    Second, is there a way to automate this? Like I mentioned, I have about 200 slides and would love to set something up in automator to get this done quickly.
    Thank you in advance, I really appreciate the help.
    Cheers,
    Seth

    Have you though about Automator?
    http://www.macosxautomation.com/automator/
    I am just now starting to work with this powerful program.
    If not you can open them in groups and copy and paste...
    I have been able to copy and paste 165 slides at a time without problems.

  • How do I turn off automatic bookmark creation when combining multiple PDFs into one?

    When I combine multiple PDFs into one, I need Adobe to use the CUSTOM bookmarks I created in the original PDFs. I do NOT want the additional PDF name as a bookmark in this instance. Is there a way to turn this option OFF in Acrobat Professional? I have version 9.

    You can not automatically turn off this action nor can you remove the 'file_name.pdf' heading, but you could add a button or menuitem to remove the 'file_name.pdf' from the bookamarks. Yes, it is one more step to perform when combining PDFs, but is you want until you have all of the PDFs combined you only need do it once.
    Removing filename bookmarks created by Acrobat by Sean Stewart
    From the above article:
    "With the release of Acrobat 6 came the ability to create a composite (binder) document from multiple files, (i.e. File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files.) When this is done, Acrobat automatically inserts a new top level bookmark at the start of each new file. The bookmark title will correspond to the source filename of the source file. While this level of separation can be helpful, it is counterproductive when the user wants the bookmark tree in the merged document to be continuous.
    "Here's a sample JavaScript to remove the top level bookmarks from the bookmark tree. This script will look for a ".pdf" extension to decide whether to remove the bookmark."
    With some additional coding you can add menu item or toolbar button.

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

  • When combine multiple PDFs into one, some letters are missing and display wrong letter

    Hi all. I get a problem with combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF document. There are some PDF documents and they are working fine to open each document separately. But after I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard to combine them into one, some letters are missing and some display wrong letter (e.g. "forums" display "fo ums"). Our company has Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Standard. But all of them have some problem. Does anyone have idea for that? Please help me! Thanks very much!

    I have a similar situation, but my PDFs look fine in Acrobat Pro 8,Acrobat Reader 8, and Apple preview, but are missing letters in Acrobat Pro 7. I think it stems from the files being combined all having the same font, but each having a unique subset stored in the respective files, but with the same name (and ID?), and when they are combined, the character sets are getting hosed somehow.

  • How can you combine multiple PDF pages into one searchable PDF page?

    I have scanned multiple business cards and now have a PDF  file with over 500 pages (or cards). I would like to be able and create a  page with 8 cards to a page and is still searchable for text. Right now, the text is searchable. Basically have 63 pages and not 500.
    Example:
    If I wanted to find Joe Smith's card, I could search for  "Joe Smith" and it would search all of the text and bring me to the  page(s). Right now, it will bring me to that page. Is there a way to create  a page where I can have multiple cards and the text is still searchable?
    I tried to create a page in Photoshop, made 8 different layers with 8  different cards, but when saved, not only was the file way too large, but no text, or font, was detected  and there was nothing to  search for.
    Is there an option to create a page in Acrobat Professional and put 8 cards to a page?
    I have InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat Professional Pro.
    Thanks,
    mr19th

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

  • Combine multiple pdfs into one form

    I have several multi-page pdfs that I would like to combine into one dynamic form. I can import one at a time separately, then paste in each page, one at a time, but that's very time consuming. How can I take each imported file and add it, as a whole, to the master form?

    Then you can do it using a Server product called LiveCycle Assembler. The form will have to be 1st, then you can add as many PDFs as you want.
