Hello
I open pdf's in an application (no add ons for acrobat exist), and want to combine them without having to use time on saving them before merging them into one single document.
Is it possible to do this without having the files saved onto your computer? I use acrobat x pro.
Will this work for files opened from a program where the files are saved on a server that only gives me permission to view the files?
The files usually open i Acrobat reader, but if I customise it to open them directly in acrobat this might work?
The program I use allows me to save copies to my computer, and I have no problem combining them or making portfolios that way, but what I'm looking for is a way to avoid having to save the files locally on my computer before combining them and sending them to the printer.
I dont think you understand my question. Of course Adobe reader cant combine pdf's, if it could I would not have had to purchase Adobe acrobat.
The problem I am trying to solve is how to combine pdf files when they are not opened/saved locally on my computer.
If I make Acrobat the standard program for opening pdf files on my computer - then will it be possible to combine the files that are opened without saving them first?
I dont have the program installed on my computer now, and have to know this before we purchase it.
If you open the files in Acrobat rather than Reader, then you can drag and drop as mentioned. As far as saving the files -- if you are viewing them they are already saved to the temp folder, you just did not manually do it. Once you drag and drop them, you can then save the result to another local file. If you look in the temp folder where the files are located, you should also be able to use the insert pages feature. You may have to close the ones you want to import first.
