Combine Multiple PDF Files?

[alcheline]

I need to combine multiple PDF files.
The Adobe website tells me to:

2. Start Adobe Acrobat.
3. From the File menu, choose Create PDF, then choose From Multiple Files.

However, the only option that even vaguely resembles "Create PDF" is "Create Adobe PDF Online."

Not very helpful.
I went to oldversion.com to see if I could install an older more basic version that had the right buttons, but I didn't have any luck there.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Which version of Acrobat? I think you need the full version, not the reader. I'm using 7 Professional. There is an icon that says create PDF with a drop down arrow and within this list click on from multiple files.

You need acrobat pro or full, not reader.

If you have one of those, Create PDF is only for creating new pdfs... To combine, open your first pdf. Then go to Document menu/pages/insert.

You cand also open the first pdf, and click on the pages tab on the left of the window. Then open second doc, show pages and drag them from the second pdf to the first. to do this, make sure you go to View menu/Navigation tabs and select what you want to show.

Acrobat Standard (this may be what jmgalvin is referring to as the "full" version) will do this as well.

If you want to combine PDF's using a script, you could try using PDFtk (

I use it almost every day and have never had a problem with it.
