Combining multiple pdf pages into a single document

I realize this is probably an inappropriate request -- probably? almost certainly -- for this forum, but perhaps someone can refer me to another source for a solution.
I would like to combine several pages individually scanned to pdf format into a single pdf document. How do I do that? (I have only Adobe Reader. I do not have any applications for creating and editing pdf pages.)
Hope you'll forgive the inappropriate request, and thanks to anyone who can refer me to a more appropriate source.
Sincerely,
Eric Weir

I would like to combine several pages individually scanned to pdf format into a single pdf document. How do I do that?
You already have the application installed -- Preview. Whether the source files are single page or multipage documents, whether they are all on size/orientation or come in multiple dimensions/orientations, simply ...
1) Open each in a separate Preview window,
2) Open the "sidebar" for each window,
3) Drag one or more icon pages from any of the source Preview sidebar windows to your target Preview sidebar window,
4) Arrange the order of the pages in the target sidebar window as desired, and
5) Save resulting document under a new name using the "Save As..." File menu option.
ADDED: Oops! Too slow. Someone else beat me to it...

How do i combine multiple pdf file into a single pdf file?

how do i combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file?

The thread was started in early March and it's Mid-April, I know this very well. The OP of this thread posted a very common and simple question or maybe he/she would have resolved this. For an Adobe Acrobat user it's not at all difficult to combine multiple PDF files into one. But to combine PDF files full version of Adobe Acrobat is mainly required, otherwise PDF files can't be combined. For example, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. These simple steps are mainly required to combine PDF files:
Open Adobe Acrobat.
Click on Combine and click on Merge files into a single PDF.
A window will be appearing, click on Add Files and select the PDF files you want to combine.
Arrange the selected files in any order with the help of Move Up and Move Down button.
Now click on Combine File and the selected PDF files will be combined within a few seconds.
A new PDF file will be created. Click on Save As and name this new PDF file. Then, click on Save.
A new PDF file will be created and all the selected PDF files are combined in it. The steps shown above might be different in other versions of Adobe Acrobat. Other than this, some third-party PDF merge software are also available. Most of them are available with a demo version for free evaluation. I've heard much about SysInfoTools PDF Merge software on other forums and directories and it's demo version is freely available. One may check its demo version if Adobe Acrobat (full version) is not available.

How do I combine multiple pdf's into the one document?

A Printer told me awhile ago when i bought in some stuff, that I can combine the pdfs all into the one pdf. Can anyone tell me how you do that and also can I do this with pdf's that are different document sizes? I am making an inviation, program, place cards and certificates for an awards ceremony, and wanted to know if I can combine all my pdf's into the one big pdf, even though they are are all different sizes.
Thanks for any help!

If you combine PDF files in Acrobat, remember that when you save your new larger PDF with save as command, it will be saved as PDF version that your Acrobat uses, in Acrobat 9 that will be PDF1.8. Some printers want PDFs to be PDF1.3... in those cases you need to optimize your PDF´s compatibility back to PDF1.3...
Personally I don´t understand why that is required, because usually reason for that is Transparency, or fact that printer doesn´t want any Live Transparency in those PDF files. But if PDFs have been made properly, theres no live transparency there in the first place....
Anyway, I have bumped in to that requirement few times....

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?

Hello Apple community... I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.

I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents. When I drag the doc in a line would show up in the past, and if I went above th eline all was good. It doesn't have a line, and no matter what I try I am having no success.
Please help!

According to an Apple Support article, unless there are unforeseen issues
in file ownership or permissions, the combining of .PDFs should be simple.

There are a few variable and similar methods, some change with version

How to combine pdf pages into a single pdf document

I´ve done this before but I forgot. Can anyone help me?

Hi profesora.2014.2015,
Adobe Reader is a free trusted standard for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It’s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia.
In order to combine PDF pages into a single PDF file, you need to either use Adobe Acrobat (Merging and combining PDF files | Acrobat XI - Adobe India) or Adobe PDF pack (Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack).

Your quick reply would be of great help.

Thank Your for your concern, there are many replies & posts but all of them points only to Try what they have said. As being said that trying to convert PDF to binary & appending many PDF similarly would not let you generate a single PDF again.
Your Kind guidance would be really appreciable.

Concatenate multiple pdf files into one single postscript file

Hi,
Could anyone help me with a code to "Concatenate Multiple pdf files into one single postscript file" ?
Thanks for the help

Thanks for your reply! Actually the main purpose is to allow user to select multiple pdf documents on a single web page and then he should be able to print all of them at once by hitting the print button on the web page instead of selecting each document seperately to print it. Also he should be able to see all the printing services available to print those documents.
Thanks,

Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

Not possible with Reader. You need Acrobat or a subscription to something like PDF Pack to do it.

HP Envy 4501 won't scan multiple pages into a single document

My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into a single pdf document.
I already made sure that the checkbox "Create a separate file for each scanned page" is not checked under the file section in advanced settings.
After I scan the first page, I do not get a screen with a + (plus sign) that is supposed to allow you to scan additional pages into the same document.
Is there any way that I can get a fix/update for my HP Envy 4501 Printer software that would show the screen with the + (plus sign) that allows you to scan additional pages into the same document after you scanned the first page?
At this point, if I don't get this problem fixed soon, I'm about ready to return my HP Envy 4501 Printer back to the store I bought it from so I can get my money back and buy a printer from one of HP's competitors before my store warranty runs out.
I am very dissatisfied with HP's printer software, their support services and their web sight that doesn't work half of the time.
Thanks,
Mark

Concatenate multiple pdf files into one single file

hi,
Could any one help me with a code "combining or merging multiple pdf files selected from the browser into one single document" to send it as one single request to the printer?
Thanks ,

It is called the Big Faceless PDF library.
they have a free trial download.
in regards to doing it yourself, of course.
but this is a pure java library that can do what you want without you having to re-invent the wheel (for a price of course).
they have excellent technical support as well, usually solving your problem within a day or so.

Is it possible to combine multiple pdf's into one without saving them onto your computer?

Hello
I open pdf's in an application (no add ons for acrobat exist), and want to combine them without having to use time on saving them before merging them into one single document.
Is it possible to do this without having the files saved onto your computer? I use acrobat x pro.

I dont think you understand my question. Of course Adobe reader cant combine pdf's, if it could I would not have had to purchase Adobe acrobat.
The problem I am trying to solve is how to combine pdf files when they are not opened/saved locally on my computer.
If I make Acrobat the standard program for opening pdf files on my computer - then will it be possible to combine the files that are opened without saving them first?
I dont have the program installed on my computer now, and have to know this before we purchase it.

How can I combine multiple icloud calendars into a single published calendar?

I have several calendars in Ical where I map my activities and schedules. Like many I need several calendars to categorise events.
Now, I'd like others to see when I'm free and when I'm unavailable. For this, I'd need to find a way to copy multiple Icloud calendars into a single one for publishing - and the published calendar would also have to sync to any update I make in the original calendar.
Any way to make this happen? Any third party app? Tried a couple - they were outdated and / or cumbersome.
If only there was a "smart calendar" tool in Ical …

It worked - up to the crucial point: after combining icloud calendars into one "on the machine" calendar, the latter is ready for going public. But of course - this public calendar will only contain the .ics files and will not sync for updates from the icloud calendars.
And that's what I want.
If this problem is not possible to solve with the software available in the Mac - is there any known third party solution for this?
(Apple: "smart calendars" please!)
