Creating PDFs without Saving individually and Combining

Community Beginner ,

Our company recently changed from nuance ecopy to adobe. We need to understand the capability of building pdfs from various sources into one pdf, without saving a pdf each time and then combining? Do we need distiller printer queue?  or what is the best practice to minimize multiple steps?

What are your original files that you convert to PDF? Or are you scanning paper to PDF?

I am printing screenshots, excel documents, emails into one document to process a batch of work.  i do not want to create individual pdf's but one pdf by print to pdf does this make sense?

Well, if you're using the Adobe PDF printer, it cannot add to files as (I understand) some other products can. But there are much better ways to convert many things. For instance the Acrobat ribbon in Word and Excel is not just convenient, it makes a much better PDF than printing to PDF. You can select multiple DOC and XLS files (and similar) in Windows Explorer, right click, and convert to PDF.

Screen shots may be best placed in Word files. Single emails probably best still printed to PDF.

Is there a different printer that should be installed to enable this kind of printing?

That's not a feature of Acrobat.

And I do understand you. If you want to combine Excel documents you should use the method I outlined. Are your screenshots saved as bitmaps? You can include them too.

Our screenshots are printed from a online system that has built in functionality to choose the printer, which is Adobe. Unhappy with this option as it seems like it is inherent if other products offer it, why wouldn't adobe?

I can't answer for Adobe. But this is certainly not a feature.
