Combining PDF Documents
Hi,
I am using Adobe 9 to create a set of workpapers. On many occassions I am given information in paper form that I need to add to my workpaper PDF. It is easy enough to drag & drop a couble of pages but sometimes it is a lot of pages. I can use the insert command if I create a file, which is a bit time consuming. Anybody know a way to insert a PDF scanned bunch of pages into another document other that drag and drop one page at a time or "file" insert? I would be very helpful.
Thanks
Hi "FB CPA",
As "try67" suggested, you could use "Combine" > "Merge Files into a Single PDF".
The feature lets you combine individual file contents and this is all done "in-memory". Plus, you can add the already opened documents for combination using "Add Files > Add open Files" on the "Combine Files" dialog. Once added, for filtering out pages that need to be added, you could click the individual file entries and "Choose Pages" for combination.
Thanks!

Unable to open or combine PDF documents
Adobe Pro 11
operating on Windows 7. Adobe Pro has been giving us trouble for some time. When trying to open or combine PDF documents the program is unresponsive.
Our IT contractor has tried to 'repair' this several times which only seems to last for the remainder of htat day.
because this is severely bogging us down, we decided to try and uninstall and re-install the program.
we now can not open any PDF documents.
HELP!!I tried your recommendation, however it did not work. I still can’t open Adobe itself or any Adobe documents.

How do I combine PDF documents?
Please help. I currently pay $19.99 for adobe acrobat services but I cannot combine separate PDF documents. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
Thank you. MelHi Mel,
It looks like you have the ExportPDF online service, which allows you to convert PDF files to Word/Excel formats. To combine PDFs, you need either Adobe PDF Pack, or Adobe Acrobat. You're welcome to give Acrobat a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,

Problem combining pdf documents in Preview
Hello,
I used to be able to create multiple page pdf's in Snow Leopard by simply dragging the pages on top of each other in the sidebar in Preview. When I try to do this in Lion, the pages just sort of dance around each other. There seems to be no way to drag one page on top of the other. Info I've found online says that the method is the same in Lion as it was in Snow Leopard. Is this a bug? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? Help!The pages move around to allow you to position the new page where you want it. If you want to add a page between pages 1 and 2, let page 2 drop down to make room. It works as well or better than Snow Leopard.

How do I save my combined pdf documents on preview when there is no save as button? I try to hit duplicate, but it only duplicates the first page of my 2 paged pdf
There's actually just a "Save a Version" selection, which does not apparently do anything. It's not like "Save As" used to be where it gave you a dialogue box to rename the document. It just saves the original document with only one pdf, and not the other...

Merging pdf documents in Preview while maintaining OCR capability
...isn't working. I can copy text from the individual pdf's, but when I merge them, the OCR text is replaced with "_". This happening to anyone else? This is happening on more than one Mac here at the office.
I'm opening one file, expanding the sidebar, then dragging each subsequent file ONTO the page of the original. Then I save-as and that's the result I'm getting.Thanks Linc. This document seems a misleading. I'm not sure what the combining of PDFs in this manner is supposed to do, but it does not seem to merge the files.
After the three documents are brought together in one, you end up with three separate documents combined in one Preview window, which is handy for looking at them, but not for much else.
When you close the window you still have three separate documents. The title "Combining PDF documents using Preview" seems quite misleading. -
Combined pdf files with garbage fonts
I need help with creating a combined pdf document. I start with word 2013, and use the styles to create a linked table of contents. Then Save As to a pdf. I deselect the Options to allow the links to work in the pdf format. Then I add other pdf's created from word, excel or AutoCAD. Finally I add outside pdf's from other sources (i.e. manuals) to complete the combined pdf. Some, not all of my AutoCAD pdf's will have text changes, boxes or the letter L, basically gibberish. I did recently change computers from a desktop to a laptop. Running windows 8 and upgraded Acrobat Pro from X to XI. This is extremely frustrating as it just recently seemed to start doing this. I work for a manufacturing firm and have created combined pdf files to distribute to customers, vendors, etc. on a regular basis, and this just started. I don't know how to fix it. Please help

You used to be able to drag and drop pages from one Preview document to another. That feature is not longer available. Is there anyway to combine PDF documents into one file now?
I found that if I:
1. Show edit toobar - which is in View or is a button next to the search bar in Preview
This causes a small addition symbol "+" to appear in the bottom left corner of the icon menu on the left side of preview.
2. Click on the addition symbol and you'll be given three options
Insert page from scanner
Insert page from file
Insert blank page
3. Once I inserted from file (I already had the pdf) I could then save it as a single document.
The above methods always kept the documents separate and did not allow me to merge. -
Using my Macbook Air, I would like to create a PDF document using text and images from Wikipedia. On a Mac, I know how to save a webpage to PDF. That is not what I am asking to do. I want to do is this, go to Wikipedia and take a webpage and save it to PDF but I want to add other webpages to the existing document to make a large document. For example, I go to Wikipedia, I look up Apple Inc, and I see a TOC so I want to start the document with this page then add the history of Apple to the same document then add another page to create a large document starting with TOC and ending with Steve Jobs.
How do I accomplish this task?Mac or PC? Doesn't matter. Whichever one you are more comfortable with will do just fine.
For more help with the Mac Preview app, you can see how to combine documents here --->Mac OS X v10.6: How to combine PDF documents using Preview - Apple Support
For Acrobat, use the Acrobat forums here ---> Acrobat
I can tell you it is pretty easy in Acrobat. I can't speak for Preview. -
I realize this may not be the place to post this but I don't know where else to turn on the Apple forum.
I was to be able to combine PDF documents or add pages. Is there any Apple software that enables me to accomplish this?
I have Adobe Acrobat on the PC but its $299 for the Mac and I'm hoping there's an alternative.
ThanksYou're welcome. I now use PDFpen because I needed some more options for manipulating PDFs I receive, but it is shareware. Inexpensive but a bit more complex than PDFLab.
