Combining PDFs

How do I combine several PDFs into one PDF document?

Did you have a trial download of Acrobat Pro?
Did you subscribe to Adobe PDF Pack?
To Adobe ExportPDF?
Or something else?

  • Bug in Automator's Combine PDF Pages action?

    Hi guys,
    I've been playing around with 10.6's new Automator and Services. I decided to make an Automator Service so that if I have some PDFs selected in Finder, I can combine all the pages into one PDF and save it to a location. So I created the following service:
    * Get Selected Finder Items
    * Combine PDF Pages (appending pages)
    * Move Finder Items (to Desktop by default, show this action when the workflow runs)
    * Rename file (comes up as Name Single Item in Finder Item Names, show this action when the workflow runs)
    I tested this in Automator by selecting some PDFs on my desktop and hitting the Run button; everything worked out well. So I saved it as an Automator Service, only available for PDF files but in all applications (drop down lists at the top of the Automator window).
    I noticed however when I ran this workflow as a service, the pages in the resulting PDF file is actually duplicated. For example, if I had page 1 in page1.pdf, and page 2 in page2.pdf, running the service on these two files will produce a PDF with the following pages: page 1, page 2, page 1, page 2.
    Does this happen to anyone else in here, or is it just me? I tried saving the workflow as an application, placed it in the Dock, and then dropped my test files on it and it does the same thing. And this happens with other PDF files too.
    Is this a bug? Can someone confirm that it happens on their machine too?
    Thanks.

    Anyone? It doesn't take long to create an Automator workflow with the 4 actions above. Probably 2 minutes max. Can someone test on their machine?
    I tried to do the same with my MBP, which I also upgraded to Snow Leopard, and it does the same thing there. For some reason, it works perfectly when the workflow is run within Automator, but when it's exported as an Application or a Service, it duplicates pages.
    I tried to submit a bug report to Apple, but I couldn't log in with my current Apple ID -- it shows me an error page to submit a bug report! That's what I've been trying to do in the first place, but it seems the bug report process has bugs that they want you to report on. Chicken and egg scenario methinks.

  • Merge and Combine PDF files in a numerical order

    Greetings!
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat to create a photo LookBook or an eBook. I'm importing and merging straight from .JPEG's and Acrobat work's great. The JPEG's are sorted by capture date, renamed and numbered as such: "10_File.Name.jpg". However, once I attempt to merge over 100 files I noticed that the numerical order of the file names is wrong. You'll notice in the example below that when viewed by name, the three digit numbers begin after 10. Well, in this example it's twelve. This affects to page order of the combined .PDF file. How can I maintain consistent name order to avoid assembling the finished ebook by implementing two workflow steps. Meaning the first step to combine the double digit numbers, then the second step to combine the three digit numbers. What can I do to resolve this issue?
    Greatly appreciated!

    Try it with a leading zero ( 003_, 007_, 008_, 010_, 011_, and 012_ ).
    Be well...

  • Combined PDF's and created links to original PDF's

    Combined multiple PDF's from several individuals into on E-book.  I also create a table of contents with links to original PDF's within the combined document.  Problem is that each link opens in a different magnification. Page 1 is 100%, 1st link 93%, 5 link 56%, etc.  Is it possible to have all pages open with the same magnification? (i.e. all open @ 100%).
    Thanks in advance.

    If the combined PDFs are within a single PDF file —
    Use the Link Action "Go to a page view".
    As the Create Go to View dialog states:
    "Use the scrollbars, mouse, and zoom tools to select the target view..."
    During this activity you can establish the desired zoom (page magnification of 100%).
    Once the activity is complete, click the Set Link button.

  • Trying to create a "Combine PDF" that also has a "save as" dialog box

    I am able to get the Combine PDF to work but it just saves them as randomly named files on the desktop that I then need to rename manually. Is there some way to make a "save as" dialog box pop up after combining the files? So if I had a bunch of PDFs it would go:
    Right Click on selected files > Automator > Combine PDF > Save As
    Is this possible?

    Set up you worflow as:
    Get Selected Finder Items
    Combine PDF Pages
    Open Images in Preview
    Run Applescript
    +copy this into the Applescript box+
    tell app "System Events"
    keystroke "s" using {command down, shift down}
    keystroke "d" using {command down}
    end tell
    I also like to add a Sort Finder Items after the Get Selected Finder Items.

  • Getting File Name in Automator workflow - combine PDF

    I am using Automator to combine 2 PDF files.
    I would like to inherit one of the file names in the new PDF and append a standard text to the front of the file name.
    I am not sure how to do this. I can combine the PDFs the way I would like, but I am not sure how to plick the file name.
    my workflow is as follows.
    Folder Action targets folder where 1st PDF is added(I want this FILE NAME).
    Ger Specified finder item selects 2nd PDF to be combined.
    Sort Finder Items makes sure the new PDF pages are ordered properly.
    Combine PDF Pages combines the pages.
    Move Finder Items saves the files where i want it.
    Name single item is whre i thought to add my standard text plus the variable of FILE NAME.
    Open File in mail to set up my email.
    Anyone can help with this?
    thanks,
    Aaron

    Here is an automator workflow that does something similar so I believe you can adapt to your needs.  This workflow is setup as a service workflow. It will combine PDFs in the order in which they are selected/clicked via the Shift key.  The default name of the combined output file will be the name of the first file clicked.  Automator can be activated by CTRL clicking any of the selected PDFs.
    1. Service receives PDF files in Finder
    2. Automator Action: Run AppleScript
    on run {input, parameters}
              display dialog "Files will be combined in the order selected via the Shift key" as text
              return input
    end run
    3.. Automator Action: Trim input items
    keep the first one
    you will need to download and install this autotmator action from here:
    http://www.menace-enterprises.com/Files/Automator/Actions/Trim%20Input%20Items.d mg
    4.  Automator Action: Run AppleScript
    (* Note & Definitions
    This Applescript extracts the basename of the first selected file without its .pdf extension
    "path_basename_ext" is full path and name, e.g. User/desktop/file.pdf
    "NmExt" is filename with extension, e.g. file.pdf
    "baseName" is the base filename without extension, e.g. file
    "Ext" is the file's extension, e.g. pdf
    on run {input, parameters}
              set path_basename_ext to input
              tell (info for path_basename_ext) to set {NmExt, Ext} to {name, name extension}
              set baseName to text 1 thru ((get offset of "." & Ext in NmExt) - 1) of NmExt
      baseName
              return baseName
    end run
    5.  Automator Action: Set Value of Variable
    define baseName as the variable
    6.  Automator Action: Get selected finder items
    Options: check ignore input
    7. Automator Action: Combine PDF pages
    choose Combine by appending
    8. Automator Action: Move Finder Items
    choose To: Desktop
    Options: check show this action when workflow runs
    9. Name Single Items
    choose Basename only to: baseName
    Options: check show this action when workflow runs
    10. Open Finder Items

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
    Michael Jones

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

  • Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

    In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

    As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
    As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
    Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

  • Combine pdf + html files

    Hello
    I am familiar with how to combine several pdfs into one pdf, and I love the Bookmarks as a built-in navigation panel for my project.
    Now I'm trying to integrate the next step. 
    My goal is a cd with 3 items in the navigation panel: 
    book 1 (from a pdf)
    book 2 (from a pdf)
    Genealogy
    I have a folder with a bunch of HTML files, and sub-folders with other HTML files (they were all nicely generated by the genealogy software I use).  I know that the primary file that runs the series of HTML files is called index.html
    I can easily combine the 2 pdf files, and the index.html into 1 master pdf.  But that seems inadequate; the other html files are not in the combined pdf, and the links from index.html to the other files die.
    Should I be using Portfolio?

    Thank you for your feedback, but I think I need to clarify, and update.
    For the moment, I am not trying to create a site.
    I am trying to put PDF files and a tree of HTML files/folders, all onto one CD
    With a menu to navigate.
    I have solved this by doing the following:
    - on my desktop, I have a folder (eg, TEMP) which contains the pdf files, and the lead HTML file (INDEX.HTML) as well as its subordinates
    - within that folder, I made a pdf that combined the multiple pdf files, and saved it (let's say I called it Menu.pdf)
    - I opened the Menu.pdf file, and, in the BOOKMARK panel, I added a bookmark, whose action is to open the INDEX.HMTL file
    - I burned the TEMP folder to a CD
    The end result when I load the CD is that 2 items show up in Finder:
    - Menu.pdf
    - folder with my html hierarchy
    When the user opens the Menu.pdf file, they Bookmark Navigation Panel gives them options like:
    - History (which opens the Family History.pdf)
    - Recipes (which opens the Family Recipes.pdf
    - Genealogy (which opens the INDEX.HTML file within the folder, and the all the subordinates are linked properly)
    Granted, I may not be explaining it with every nuance.....  and it took me 5 CDs to get it the way I wanted it.  But now it is exactly what I wanted, so that 's good!

  • Is it possible to combine pdfs from software containing the file by dragging and dropping them?

    We have a piece of software that we profile PDF files into it and then have a need to combine those PDFs into one file.  Is it possible to just drag and drop from the software into the combine files area?  I know if you open the files first, you can do that or if you save the documents locally, then you can combine them.  It would be ideal to just select the files in the software, then drag and drop them into the combine pdf window.  We are using Adobe Pro XI.

    Hi Hawk2000,
    The workflow you are talking about is very much possible with Acrobat and a good example is Microsoft Outlook from which we can select multiple e-mails and simply drag into Acrobat combine dialog box for combining.
    What happens when you drag files from you software? Is it public software?
    Can we test your software?

  • When I combine PDFs I get different page sizes in the new PDF. Why?

    I used the Combine PDF feature today and found that the final version of two originals, combined, had different page sizes when viewed in Adobe. How do I fix this issue? Does it have to do with DPI resolution on scan?

    This will happen if the PDFs you are combining have different page sizes. You can check this by hovering the mouse in the bottom left of the screen, at least in Acrobat.

  • Is there a Maximum file size limit when combining pdf files

    I am trying to combine files 8 PDF files created with i Explore using Acrobat XI Standard, the process is completed but when opening the file not all 8 individual files have been combined only the first two have been combined, the process shows all eight being read and combined.
    I can open and view each of the original 8 individual files and read the content without any issue, the largest of the eight files is 15,559kb and the smallest is 9,435kb
    if anyone can assist that would be most appreciated

    Hi Tayls450,
    This should not have happened as there is no maximum file size limit when combining PDFs.
    Please let me know if there are some password protected PDFs also?
    Also, I would suggest you to choose 'Repair Acrobat Installation' option from the Help menu.
    Regards,

  • HELP! Combine PDF:s in acrobat 8 professional

    Hi,
    we have a lot of pdf:s that needs to be combined into one pdf-file. I have found the function comine / merge files into one pdf. It seeems ok, but leaves us one very big issue...we want the combined file to change, when we change the original pdf file. How could that be accomplished? Is it at all possible?
    The reason is that we would like to avoid creating a new combined file everytime we update one of its included pdf's. We would like it to update for itself.
    Please help if there is anybody who has a clue.
    Regards
    Annika
    PS. The original files comes from InDesign CS3, if there is a solution already at this program...

    We have this same problem. Depending on your application, this may or may not be suitable for your use.
    Instead of starting with a combined pdf, we created collections. (Go to File, then Organizer. From here you either "open organizer" to get a current collection, which will be listed in the box to the left -towards the bottom,.. or "create a new collection".
    collections are just links to original files. so everytime your original is updated, so is your collection.
    Once you open the collection, select all the documents and either print them or create a combined pdf.
    Play around with this and see if it works for you.

  • 2Sided Original 1Sided ADF Scanner -Combine PDF Pages -  Data Error?

    I just purchased a scanner with an Auto Document Feeder, ADF, of 25 pages after trying to use it I found out through the company that it only scans one side. I have another ADF scanner where the software allows the user to flip the pages over and then reinserts them for the final PDF file. Instead of spending more on a double sided scanner I figured I would create a program using Automator.
    The script I created worked a few times but after some tweaking it stopped.
    The problem is just before the Combine PDF Pages where I have two "Get Value of Variables" which I set as PDF Documents at the beginning of the script.
    The log reads before and at the point of error;
    Conversion from Files/Folders (com.apple.applescript.alias-object) to PDF files com.apple.applescript.alias-object.pdf) completed.
    . ! The action "Combine PDF Pages" was not supplied with the required data.
    The variables are showing the entire path to include the filename and extention of my selected PDFs, but the log above the error seems to change the variable to the appropriately desired object.
    ? What I need to do to correct this error because it seemed to work earlier by using variables?
    The script would be useful for any type of ADF scanner that outputs one-sided to PDFs and the originals are two-sided.
    Your help is appreciated.

    I have been working in Automator for this program and saved it as an Applescript plug-in for the Scripts Menu. I don't have to have it as a script I just need it to work.
    The pecular thing was while testing the program in Automator before exporting it to the plug-in the program was skitish meaning that at first it didn't work then I added 'view results' and then afterwards it seemed to work. After this I removed 'view results' and it worked then I exported it but since then I can't get it to work again even after reinserting 'view results'.
