Question

When I highlight several separate single-page PDFs in order to drag them to combine into a single PDF, the order changes. How can I combine several single-page PDFs and maintain the order when I merge them?

Community Answer

If you're using Adobe Acrobat, you can reorder the files within the "Combine Files" window by highlighting and dragging them to the order you want.

Question

What do I do if the files won't drop when I drag them onto the thumbnail panel?

Community Answer

Create a new folder in the document folder, copy your files and paste them in that folder. Then open the document folder and the folder that you created inside it with your files, and follow all the instructions listed in wikiHow. It should solve your problem. It worked for me.

Question

When using this free software to combine highly confidential documents, is any of the information on those docs reviewed, sold, or used by the provider?

Community Answer

Always assume yes with highly confidential documents. When something is free, the software provider needs to make money in other ways.
