Merging two pdfs....

I have a one-page PDF ("Document 1") that I would like to insert after every page in another PDF ("Document 2"), so that "Document 1" becomes page 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. in "Document 2". I have Acrobat XI Pro. How do I do this?

Yes. Open one in Preview and show the sidebar. Then drag the second PDF to the desired location (between pages, at the beginning, or at the end) and then save the results. You can "Save As..." to prevent overwriting the originally opened document as well.

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

Insert PDF into new Adobe Form - merging two PDF files into one

Hi everyone,
I need to enable access to archive PDF files but within a new PDF file containing header and footer.
Request is not to change archived PDF files at all.
I use Web Dynpro application to upload PDF file and to display new PDF file.
I thought converting archive PDF files into JPG files and than using an 'Image Field' object to display those in a new PDF file.
I am dealing here with PDF version 1.3 files.
I am also having trouble converting these PDF files into JPG files. Any sugestions one this problem?
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to deal with this concerning the fact that archive PDF files can not be changed?
Is there some other way to merge two PDF files into one using Adobe Designer?
Regards,
Amel

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.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="out.pdf">
<PDF source="inDoc1"/>
<PDF source="inDoc2"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>

How to update bookmarks when merging two PDF files?

We have a company catalog that gets generated once a night. It's three step process:
     Step 1) A raw XML file gets generated from our main ERP software (Microsoft Dynamics).
     Step 2) Then that raw XML file is ran against a stylesheet with XEP to produce a nice professional looking catalog.
     Step 3) And the third step is a script that merges the front and back covers with the main catalog produced in step 2. Each cover is two pages (front and back).
My problem is when step 3 runs it produces a final catalog but all the bookmarks are off by 2 pages because the front cover adds two pages in the very beginning. This post may be premature because up until now I've been merging the PDF pages with a program called "GhostScript" and it allows me to merge them via line command. I'm just now trying out AcroExch.App COM Object for VBScript so I'll see if it works but wanted to fire this out for help to see if anyone has encountered this or can confirm if Adobe automatically updates them for you? When I "Merge" the PDF files through Acrobat Pro they get updated automatically, so hopefully it will work the same way with AcroExch.App Object.   Thanks guy!

I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm saying... we are not performing tasks for non-licensed individuals. We purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard so we could create a PDF of our catalog. That catalog we then put on our website and let people download it. Since our products change all the time, we generate a new catalog every night. The term "server" is just a place where a script runs, I could have it run on my desktop computer if that's really an issue but I think we're talking semantics. Acrobat is not what produces the main catalog PDF, that is done through XEP when it runs through the raw XML produced by our ERP software every night. The only thing we want Acrobat to do is an automated process to merge 3 PDF files together: Front Cover, Main Catalog and Back Cover. That's it.   Are you saying that is against the EULA of Adobe for us to do that?
Now for the bookmark problem, what do you recommend I do then? When I merge all three of those PDF files in Acrobat Standard manually it works perfect. All I'm trying to do is automate that process once every night. I know how to automate with Acrobat, I just can't figure out how to fix the bookmark problem?

Merging two PDFs in Preview?

How can I merge a page from one PDF to another, separate PDF in Preview?

Yes. Open one in Preview and show the sidebar. Then drag the second PDF to the desired location (between pages, at the beginning, or at the end) and then save the results. You can "Save As..." to prevent overwriting the originally opened document as well.

Merge two PDF files into one

I have two separate PDF slideshows created with Photoshop Elements with 1-100 and 101-200 images that I would like to combine into one slideshow with 1-200 images. How can I do this? The actual number of images in each slideshow is quite large, so that Elements cannot create the combined one, only the two separate slideshows.

You can try this service from Adobe: http://createpdf.adobe.com/
Or you can download the free 30-day trial version of Acrobat.

You can't do in Preview.
You can combine individual PDFs into one PDF using one of these freeware utilities.

Merge 2 pdf's dynamicly with iText

I would like to merge two pdf's with iText. There is something special with the merging because the first pdf is dynamicly created and does not exists on the disk. I would like to merge it with an existing pdf (on my hard-disk), but the result of the merge must be dynamic too.
I know there is a possibility to do this with iText, but I have no idea how I have to do it. The first (dynamic) pdf is created with iText too and it works fine.
Thanks,
Jiebke

iText has a sample application that merges two PDFs into another. If you examine that code and fiddle around a little bit, you should be able to figure out how to do what you want.
What you are trying to do is not that difficult with iText, and I'm sure you are up to the challenge!

Merge two acroforms using itextsharp

I've found a good bit of code on how to merge two pdf files using iTextSharp, but I have Acrofields on several forms I want to merge, and using the examples I've found the fields are not present in the final file.
I'm going to go out and buy the iText book, but I'm a little surprised how hard it is to find samples to do this - it must come up all the time.
I have several pdf files with acrofields on them, I want to be able to mix and match the forms into one big pdf file. Ideally this would be done in a memory stream not a file, but I can handle that part.
Any links to samples for this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
kpg

You may use a forum for iTextSharp.

How to merge two pages of a PDF into one

How do I merge two pages (within the same PDF file) into one page? For example, I have a scanned 3x5 card; the front of the card is on page one and the back of the card is on page two. How do I merge them so the front and back of the card is on the same page? Thanks!

Phillip,
It works well because InDesign is highly reliable for placing PDF files (you can even choose which layer):
And it uses the common PDF Export presets for the Creative Suite. I've used it very reliably to place ads saved as PDF, and including them in a program guide, then exporting the entire project as one PDF file.

Merge two Livecycle PDF files into one PDF?

I have a new requirement where I need to take two different PDF forms I'm producing from LiveCycle and merge them together into a single PDF.
I have heard that Adobe Acrobat cannot edit LiveCycle files, does anyone know if it is possible to merge two Livecycle PDFs together into a single file?

Hello Clay,
This is not available in the standard SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe solution.
What I can recommend is:
Step 1: retrive the data back from the PDF files using the getData functionality of the ADS.
Step 2: Render a new PDF file. The template of this new PDF should contain the template of both original PDF files.
This should work if both of the original PDF files were created by the SAP Systems ADS.
Best regards,
Dezso
