Combining files - deleting the multiple sources of documents showing up in the Table of Contents

Hello,

 

I am combining multiple documents, some from Canva, some from PDF, and when I do this, all the names of the documents that were combined (listed separately) show up in my table of contents in PDF - how do I delete this so there is no table of contents - only the tile of the document? SEe screenshot enclosed to give you an idea of what I am referring to.

 

Thanks,

 

Catherine

Those are probably bookmarks, referred to (incorrectly) by that application as a "Table of Contents".

If you don't them to be added when combining files in Acrobat click the Options button in the Combine Files dialog and tick off "Always add bookmarks to Adobe PDF":

Hello,

 

I was googling my business name and I saw the picture = snippet of a product I showed you in this thread - is it possible to take down this picture - as it was a private image as well as this thread for privacy reasons.  Thanks.

No the screenshot shows the issue I am explaining - that when I open a PDf document it shows the entire documents that I combined.  I am selling digital legal products and I do not want all the documents titles combined showing up in the table of contents of the user.  I have adobe acrobat pro account - that is on the cloud.  If  you need to know the exact version of Adobe I am using to resolve my issue, please direct me where to find this.
