You may have a few documents, spreadsheets or PDF files that you need to merge together to make one document. This is a common task for those who work with newsletters, magazines, and other types of publications. When you merge these files together, it helps keep your data organized and easy to read. The following steps will show you how to merge your PDF files in 4 easy steps.
Prepare Your Files for Merging
Before you merge PDF files, you’ll need to make sure that the files are in the same order and have the same number of pages or a multipage document. Once you’ve verified this, start by opening up the first file in the list and use one of these methods to merge it with another file:
- Drag the second PDF file onto the first PDF file, then click “Open”
- Select “File > Open” and select both PDFs
- Select “File > Import Files” then find both files on your computer
Merge Files Together
- Open the first PDF file and then open the second PDF file.
- Click on the “Files” tab at the top of your screen and click on “Open”.
- Select the PDF files that you want to merge by clicking on them, one at a time, and then click “Open” in order to merge them together.
- When both PDFs have opened, hover your mouse over the top half of one file’s page and drag it over to the bottom half of the other file’s page until they overlap. This will combine them into one document without any separation between them, so be sure to select pages that you don’t mind being side-by-side in your merged document before you start dragging!
Add Headers and Footers to Your Documents
The first thing you need to do is open up the documents that you want to merge. You can make all of these files into one document or create a new file and copy and paste each file separately. There are tools that could offer you great features such as an option called “Insert Headers & Footers.” This will allow you to input your name, date, or other information that might be helpful in the header or footer of each page.
Add and Crop Images to Your Documents
Another step is to add images to your documents. If you are trying to merge a newsletter, for example, you would want to save your images separately and then import them into the document when it’s time to merge. One way to do this is by using Adobe Acrobat Professional.
