PDFs are files that contain information and images. They can be created from many different documents like word, excel, or powerpoint. PDFs are becoming an increasingly popular file type because they provide good security and long-term preservation of the documents they contain. However, these files can become difficult to manage over time as more and more are added. If you are looking for a way to keep your files organized and avoid frustration, follow this guide on merging PDFs!
How to Merge Your PDFs?
PDFs can be merged in two ways: merging identical files or merging files with matching titles. Identical files are PDFs that have the same content and formatting (though they may have different file names). For these PDFs, you just need to open them in Adobe Acrobat Pro, press CMD+A to select all the pages in the document, then press CMD+L to merge them together.
Merging files with matching titles is a little bit more complicated. You’ll want to first open your PDF and rename it. Then go into the folder where you saved your original documents and find the matching file. Move this original document onto your desktop, but don’t delete it from your folder yet. Next, open up Adobe Acrobat Pro and drag both of these documents over to the side of your screen. Drag one of these documents and drop it on top of the other one so they are aligned in a grid-like format. Once aligned, click on Document > Merge Files Together > Merge Files Side by Side > OK and wait for a few minutes for everything to process. When done, you should see two new documents on your Desktop – one will be titled “Document1” and the other “Document2.” Rename Document2 back to its original name (which should match Document1) and save both as PDFs before deleting any original documents from your computer’s hard drive.
Why Should You Merge PDFs?
Merging PDFs is a great way to keep your files organized and easily searched. This will also allow you to make sure that you don’t lose any important information when deleting or renaming documents. You can also combine multiple files into one PDF document for easier distribution. For example, if you have a group project with multiple participants, you can send each member of the group his/her section by combining all the parts into one file.
Merging PDFs is a great option for those who have a large number of files that need to be organized. However, it is important to know when not to merge PDF files. One example of this is if you want information from the PDF to remain private. Another reason not to merge your PDFs is if they are in use somewhere else. If one of your documents was being used on an online portal, it will no longer be available once it has been merged in with other documents.
Data merging is a process that combines data from two or more sources into a single document. Merging PDFs is one way to do this—especially if you have a lot of information that can be compiled for a single document, like a book.
