Merge PDF files?

[jonesnewton]

Anyone know how to merge more than 2 PDF files into1 so I can send in emails?

Thanks.

You can do it very easily in Adobe Acrobat Pro (not the free version). What pdf software are you using?

 

[jonesnewton]

Adobe Acrobat 9.

Any reason why you don't want to send them as individual attachments?

 

[jonesnewton]

Because I have 5 PDF (inc my CV) plus a Word Doc of my CV. I want to reduce the initail size, what the veiwer sees..

So whats the problem? Just click on Combine-> Merge files into single pdf, then choose the files. Heres a little tut, if you need one.

Can you post a snippet of the Acrobat window?

Also, click on the "File" tab and see if there is a Combine tab in the dropdown list.

Also, when you right click on a pdf file, do you see the option "combine supported files..."?

Here capture, but no Combine tab!!

Hey Dude, thats the Adobe Reader, not Acrobat pro. You cant combine pdfs in the reader.

You can either shell out money to buy a pro version or google for some free tool that might do the needful for you. I havent personally tried any of the opensource /free stuff so cant recommend anything to you.

I found this >

Merge PDF Documents Easily and for Free using MergePDF.net

It did the job I wanted.

That's good to know. But what did you use to create the PDF files in the first place?

 

[jonesnewton]

I used Adobe Reader 9.
I was told that prospective employers like PDF format and that there dont get corrupted while being transmitted.
I hope that makes sense?

With this webpage now, I wanted to change one word in my CV and re merge it, but the problem now is this messgae >>
Error! Merging failed.

Cannot handle iref streams. The current implementation of PDFsharp cannot handle this PDF feature introduced with Acrobat 6. <<


If I excliude the one I changed they will merge, but not with it?


Any ideas?

Just discovered that PDFCreator is able to do that too (PDFCreator | Free Business & Enterprise software downloads at SourceForge.net).
