How to Merge two PDF documents orginally created in different programs?

I am trying to find information on how you can merge a PDF document created in LiveCycle and a PDF created in PageMaker or Microsoft Word?
I know that you can easily merge two PDF documents created in the same program, but I am specifically looking for how you can merge two PDF documents created from two different programs. A step by step process would be helpful, if you have that information. Thanks.

You use Assembler for this purpose.
1) Assembler can be accessed through LC Java API. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html
API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Assembler Service API Quick Starts
2) Last week I posted on generating and merging PDF's from PostScript. Take a look at the assembly service instance in the .lca. Assembler uses DDX (Document Description XML) to describe document construction. NOTE the .lca was developed with ES 3 (aka ADEP). The .lca It contains the most basic DDX.

  • How to merge two movies documents into 1 in  iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how to merge two movies documents into one in iTunes? Sorry maybe this is an easy and dumb question for you, but I have totally no idea. I download some movies in Windows and use Kigo Video Coverter to converte them into mp4 format. So I can watch it through new Apple TV in my big screen TV. Now I am thinking maybe I can upgrade my experience a bit more. Because some movies are downloaded into 2 or 3 separated document and I have to choose and click them while seeing. Is there any software can merge those separated documents into one single in mp4 format? I wish you could give me several to choose . Freeware is better. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. I've tried simplemovies application but it seems too much complicated for me. I read some passages online and bought Quicktime Pro ($30) and finally link 2 mp4 documents together. So easy. Only issue is I have to pay $ 30 .

  • How to merge two pages documents

    I have two separate documents, one landscape and one portrait. I want to merge them into one pages file so I can then turn that into one pdf file.
    How can this be done?

    If you search in the existing threads, you will get a response because your question was already asked and responded.
    Some tools are able to merge different PDF.
    I posted a script doing that some days ago.

  • How to merge two pdf together?

       in my plugin,i use the this.insertPages api to meger to pdf file,and can work in the javascript debug window,but i do not know how to pass the parameter to the api in the plugin.
       can you give me some information about that ?

    If you can make it work in the console, then you use the same string in the plugin.

  • Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

    Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
    Thanks

    If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview.  Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar.  Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
    Cheers

  • Can you overlay two PDF documents, but use second PDF as watermark to first?

    I have two PDF documents that I want to overlay page by page. (It's a long story, but the purpose is to create an PDF cast. Livescribe Education :: Guest Blog: How To Embed Text Behind a Livescribe Pencast PDF)
    The known method to do this is basically overlaying a JPEG file on a PDF page. The process becomes extremely cumbersome if there are more than 2 pages of PDF. So I'm looking for a way to overlay one PDF file on top of another PDF file in the form of watermark.
    Is there a plug-in or app that can facilitate this?

    Open the first PDF with Acrobat Pro.
    Now use the tool that lets you insert a background.
    Select the second PDF.
    Adjust the scale of this PDF (in the dialog) as needed.
    When done consider flattening the layer.
    Be well...

  • How to combine two PDF files without consolidating form fields

    I have two PDF documents with form fields in each. Someone else created the documents. Certain fields were untitled and thus were given names as "undefined" in each document. However, some of those fields contain different information in each document. When i combine the document, these fields mix and incorrect information gets put into certain fields.
    For example, there is a blank field in doc A, titled "undefined." In doc B, there is a field with "johnson" titled "undefined." When I combine them, "johnson" appears in the blank field.
    Is there a way to combine the documents without combined fields?

    Is this the correct window I should see? I hit start and it said it was completed, but nothing seemed to happen.

  • Two PDF's - 1 created from Illustrator and the other Acrobat. Same colour is different in both. Why?

    Two PDF's - 1 created from Illustrator and the other Acrobat. Same colour is presented differently in both pdf documents. Why?

    Hi - sorry pressed send too quickly....
    I have two PDF documents that show a sample business card in PDF.
    One was apparently created through illustrator and is the focument for the printers ... it is this document that shows a completely different colour to the one that is in the other PDF that was apparently created in Acrobat. Though designers assure me that they are exactly the same patenone and that it's the software interpretting it.
    What i dont understand is why the colours would look different using the software from the same company....and why designers would put up with this as a basic layman it just looks plain wrong to me.

  • I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

    I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

    Hey john@adobe,
    Could you please specify how exactly have you created your form.
    You might need to have Acrobat installed on your computer to convert a word document to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat installed? If yes, what version? If no, then please try using the trial version of Acrobat DC (latest version) and access its features:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
    Also, let me know what kind of blue boxes are you talking about.
    If you want others to edit your PDF form, then you need to make it a fillable form by choosing 'Form Editing' option from Tools pane.
    Let me know more on this so that I can help you out.
    Regards,
    Anubha
