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...

  • Adobe CreatePDF Basic version - deleting pages in PDF and combining PDF files

    Does the Adobe CreatePDF Basic version allow for pages to be deleted in a PDF file and for PDF files to be combined? Thanks.

    Deletion, no.
    Combination of up to 10, I believe so.

    Hi alfonsoa30012808,
    The ExportPDF online service lets you convert PDF files to Word or Excel format. If you want to create or combine PDFs, then you would want to consider Adobe PDF Pack or Adobe Acrobat.

  • The function to combine pdf files and the function to add bookmarks stopped working in 10.x

    We had VBA scripts in Access 2003 running with Acrobat 7.0 standard version to combine pdf files and to add bookmarks. The scripts worked fine. Now we installed 10.x and the functions stopped working. Does anyone share the same experience?
    In the scripts, we just call the OLE object with the code like:
        Set acroOrigPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        Set acroNewPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Then we have the call "acroOrigPdfDoc.InsertPages" and "acroOrigPdfDoc.Save" to save the combined pdf files. All these functions work fine under 7.x. Under 10.x, they stopped working without any error messages.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Adobe won't let me combine pdf files in one merged file

    Those are two different products. Acrobat XI can merge pdf files, Reader cannot.
    Since you're on a Mac, I believe Mac Preview (free) has this ability doesn't it?

  • 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

  • Size of pages in combined pdf files

    How can I keep the combined pdf files from changing sizes in the newly created pdf. If the combining tool doesn't allow me to save the original pdf file size, it's of very little use to me. Can someone help me ?

    You are saying that the PDF pages change size when combined? Ok, what were the sizes before and after? You can check the exact size by holding the mouse at the extreme bottom left of the page until the size appears.

  • How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files

    How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files. I have been able to subscribe in the past, but now all I see is annual subscription. I do not need an annual subscription because I do not use it often enough.

    Hi paige1186,
    The Adobe PDF Pack subscription, which allows you to combine PDF, is only available at an annual rate of $89.99. We do offer month-to-month subscriptions of Acrobat Pro and Standard, but I think you'd actually come out ahead with the annual PDF Pack subscription, if you planned on combining files more than 3-4 times throughout the year.

  • Combine PDF-files using Indesign?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to combine, lets say 15, PDF-files using Indesign and some scripting magic?
    I know it's easily done in Acrobat Pro, but I'd like to skip that step and make it even easier for my colleagues.
    Any hints, tips or links are much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    All you have to do in Acrobat is drag one file after another onto the same window, correct? Then save?
    You can combine PDF files with InDesign, but then you'd get an InDesign file, so you have to export as a new PDF again. Sure, a script can do that for you, but it still sounds like it would take more time, and *definitely* not as easy as the straightforward drag-drop-save steps in Acrobat Pro.

  • Combine PDF Files Toolbar Button/Shortcut - Windows 7

    Hello is there a way to add a button to the windows folder toolbar (see pic below) or a keyboard shortcut to quickly combine pdf files without having to right click and select the option? I would love to save a step since I have to do this quite often. Thank you!

    You would need to edit the Windows Registry in several ways to add that functionality.  You can look this up on the web on the how-to portion.  There are also third party utilities that supposedly make this easier to do too.

  • How do I combine pdf files into one?

    I am trying to combine pdf files into on big pdf file. I have an account and I am signed in but when I try to create a file the options do not pop up. Only option is to open a single file, not combine them.

    You are asking in the Adobe Reader user two user forum. Adobe Reader cannot combine PDF files. 
    You spoke of a "service".  The  forum for subscription services is  the acrobat.com forum.

    Hi yisa ajao,
    If you have bought Export PDF / Acrobat.com service you can select 'Combine files' option on the right hand side and then click on 'Select Files' button to select the files you wish to combine.
    Else if you are using Acrobat Pro, please See the link : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd6151097 94195ff-7edc.w.html

  • Automate combining PDF files based on a text list of URL's

    I'm wondering how I could automate the combination of PDF files into one, using a list a URL's in a text file (one URL per line, each pointing to a PDF file).
    I need to periodically rebuild a combination of PDF files, with the URL's staying the same, but the files behind getting updated. I'm not a Javascript developer, so I'm doing that "manually" by copying and pasting each URL into the "Combine Files" window, but it would be great if I could get Acrobat to read them off a text file.
    Thanks!
    Corrected typo

    I have developed a script that can do just that, but with locally saved PDF
    files:
    http://try67.blogspot.com/2009/10/combine-pdf-files-from-text-list.html
    It might be possible to adjust it to do what you describe. If you're
    interested, contact me personally by PM or at try6767 at gmail dot com.
