How to combine all PDFs in the folder and named the resultant PDF using the folder name？

Question

I have a lot of folders (up to 240) each containing about 20 to 100 pdf files. What's the quickest way to combine all pdf (by default, sorted by name and ect), and name it using the folder name?

I saw a similar (almost identical) question asked in 2015, but now it's 2018.

Any efficient way? Tool available is Acrobat DC 2018.

There's no built-in command in Acrobat that does that. It can be done in Acrobat (Pro) using a combination of an Action and a script, though.

I've developed a (paid-for) tool that does that. If you're interested, you can find it here:

Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Batch Combine All PDF Files in a Folder

I've also created a standalone version of this tool, which runs independently of Acrobat and is therefore capable of processing many more files, and much faster: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Batch Combine All PDF Files In Folders
