3 methods to combine & join PDF files.
Method 1. Combine PDF files with Adobe Acrobat
1. Install the full version of Adobe Acrobat. Most computers have Adobe Reader, but Acrobat is meant for editing and managing PDFs. Some computers come with the program pre-installed. You can use the Standard or Pro version for this method.
2. Click the "Create PDF" button on the main toolbar. If you don't have "Create PDF" on your toolbar, go to View -> Task Buttons -> Show All Task Buttons.
3. Click "From Multiple Files" on the drop menu. This will allow you to pull multiple files from your computer and join them into one PDF.
4. In the window that pops up, click "Browse." Locate the files on your computer. Once you click OK on a file, it will flow into the white box on the right.
5. Order your files. Once you've pulled all the files you want to combine together, use the "Remove," "Move Up," and "Move Down" buttons on the left to organize them in the correct order. Uncheck "Include all open PDF files" if you don't want Adobe to include a PDF file you might have open in the background.
6. Click OK. Your PDFs will be organized in one file. Be sure to click "Save As..." under File and name your new PDF file.
Method 2. Join PDF files with Nitro PDF
1. Download the free trial of NitroPDF. It's free for 14 days; after that, you'll be prompted to buy a license.
2. Locate the files you want to join together. Shift-click all the files you want to join together. (Move them to the same folder beforehand or have them all available on your desktop.)
3. Open the files in NitroPDF. Still holding Shift down, right click (or CTRL click, for Macs) and select "Combine Files in NitroPDF."
4. Organize your list. Your files should now be arranged in a list, with options to "Move Up" or "Move Down" individual files. Put them in the order you want.
5. Set quality. Choose the resolution you'll need for your new PDF file. Print-ready is the highest quality, Office-ready is in the middle, and Web-ready will create the smallest file size.
6. Decide where to save your file. In the "Save PDF to..." box, choose where you want your new file saved.
7. Click "Create". This will open your new, combined-PDF file in NitroPDF.
