Tutorials: How to Merge Several Files in Adobe Acrobat
Some students prefer to save their manuscripts as several discrete files, perhaps by chapter or section. Turning these sections into a single PDF is simple. You will have to be on a computer with full versions of both Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word.
This tutorial assumes you are already familiar with the basic workings of a desktop computer, such as the use of a keyboard and mouse.
To begin, convert all your discrete files from Microsoft Word files to Acrobat PDF and save them. If you're not sure how to do this, consult the Conversion tutorial.
Once you have converted all your Word files to PDF, double-click on the PDF that corresponds to the first pages of your manuscript. This will open your document in Adobe Acrobat.
Go to Document > Insert Pages.
Choose the file that corresponds to the next pages of your manuscript and hit Select.
The Insert Pages dialogue will appear. Set Location to "After" and select "Last." Click Okay. This will append the document you selected to the end of the pages of the existing document. Continue adding pages in this manner until you have finished. Save the resulting document--this is your compiled PDF.
You're done!
