Combining PDFs into one using c# and acobat x
Hi
How can i combine multiple PDFs into one using Acrobat X, but control it all through c#
Thanks
A user will have the application open on their machine. The application scans relevant folders looking for the documents, and when it finds all the ones it needs it needs to open them and compuile them into one PDF. They are Hyperion reports. The human --> Acrobat needs to go, as the trigger is the files being present.
It is a windows form application in C# that will sit in the tray, just doing what it needs to when it needs to.
Not on a server, as one employee needs to check when done and scan for a sense check on the compiled report.
Hope this helps.

Saving combined PDFs into one new document?
I know how to combine PDFs into one document using Preview, but I am not finding any way to save the resulting new document. There is no "save as" any longer in Preview, and when I choose "save", it only saves the first document, not the whole collection of documents.
There must be a way to do this! There used to be, and it was easy as pie.
Can someone help, please?
Mark CarlsonThank you. I was able to conjure up "save as"--though why should you have to hold down the option key? Why isn't "save as" just there? Well, it doesn't really matter, since "save as" still only saves one of the documents in the combined bunch.
But your second method of accessing it through Print worked just fine.
Thanks so much!

How do I combine PDFs into one document?
I want to scan CD booklets for online digital storage. I have Pages and Preview, of course. I do not have Acrobat Professional.
I have a large scanner and can make individual TIFs or PDFs of each spread. What would be the best way to combine these into one file?etresoft,
Please don't read this as an actual reply to your post because it is not.
But, since the thread is dealing with CUPS-PDF and I have been desperately seeking CUPS-PDF for a long time ever since I've got my brand new iMac only 5 days ago (5 days on a new iMac [which is not only new but is intel-based, and which I was forced to buy because my older PPC iMac G5 died of preternatural or some other causes] is an extremely long time on account of Snow Leopard, about which I am like a babe trying to start speaking for the first time) I found it more expedient to "reply" in order to get some help with CUPS-PDF from someone who knows.
I've downloaded CUPS-PDF from "https://bitbucket.org/codepoet/cups-pdf-for-mac-os-x/wiki/Home" and installed it following the instructions included therein.
The only instruction I could not follow is to pick "Generic postscript color printer"; I could pick "Generic postscript printer" though.
CUPS-PDF shows in the printer list.
CUPS-PDF apparently prints as indicated by the progress bar.
But, the print doesn't show anywhere on my computer:
The output is not in /Users/Shared/CUPS-PDF in a folder with my user account's name.
I did make an alias to this folder on my desktop but it only contains two folders: "my user name" and "SPOOL"
The first folder had a "clone" of the download source page (which I deleted.)
SPOOL has nothing in it.
I've never had a problem using CUPS-PDF while on OS X 10.4.11, something I'll never be able to revert to.
I'll be eternally grateful to you if you could help me with this issue but, on condition that you use a language as plain as English since my expertise with OS X, which was never as considerable as to be able to use terminal to any advantage, nor understanding terms such as sudos and the like, is now even diminished on account of the new OS I am forced to use from now on.
Thank you so much for your help and excuse me for using this approach to ask for help.
Best regards,

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.
•OS X: Combining PDF documents using Preview - Apple Support
There are a few variable and similar methods, some change with version

A variety of similar topics appear in search results, with terms:

If the system is older than Mavericks there may be other methods to try.

Hello djensen1x,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

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.

Combine OCR pdfs into one file and keep OCR text
I posted a few weeks ago, but found out today that I misunderstood the problem. We got back our files from the vendor digitized as individual pdfs that have already been OCRed. When we try to combine the individual pages into issues (these are newspapers), the OCR text is lost. We're using Acrobat 8 and 9 Professional.
Thanks!Hi
I tried this with A8 and A9 but could not replicate the issue as mentioned by you. Here is what I did:
1. OCR two single page scanned PDFs.
2. Combine the two single page OCRed PDFs into one PDF.
3. Check if the text is still there.
and I found that the text was retained.
How were the PDFs OCRed in your case? Were these PDFs OCRed using Acrobat or some other tool?

How do I combine folders into one pdf, preserving subfolders as bookmarks?
So far I've had to go into each folder, convert its contents and name the file the same name as the folder name, and combine all of these folders. I'd like it if there were an easier way.
Hi,
sometimes ago I wrote a VBScript which may do, what you want.
Copy the attached Script into Notepad, change the settings and save it as AcMerge.vbs.
If you have produced the PDF FileList, you can double click on the VBS or Drag 'n Drop

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 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. -
Combine files into one folder and send
How do I combine separate PDFs into one folder which I can attach to an email and send as folder? What adobe services do I need?
You cannot email folders, unless you compress the whole folder into a ZIP file. However, the zipped folder structure may not be compatible with other operating systems.
Better just place all PDF docs into one ZIP file and send it like that.
I don't think Adobe has any tools that can help you with that; unless Adobe Send contains something similar. -
I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Any ideas how I can insert a pdf into word, using the insert object option. However the pdf i want to insert has text and lines annotated, but once inserted the comments don't appear???? any help would be greatly appreciated.
You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this. If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.
