I have combined several pages into one pdf Binder.  Although all the pages were built on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, inside the combined pdf they are different sizes on the scree.  How can I achieve continuity between all the page sizes?

    I am using Acrobat XI, 11.0.7.

    I combined several pdf files into one binder.  In the thumbnails column, the first page highlights blue around the entire page and that page is seen in full size to the right of the thumbnails column.  The second thumbnail highlights in blue around the entire page but has the black "viewing window" representing what is showing full size on the screen.

    I have attached an image showing the difference between page one and two.  I would prefer to have the entire binder display pages in the same size.  All of these pages are 8.5 x 11 inches in physical form.

    Hi everyone,

     

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro, I believe 9 or 10.  I received a document today in 2 pages that I need to combine into 1 page.  I believe the original page was bigger than a normal size piece of paper which is why I have 2 pages.  The problem is it cut the document in half and I need them side by side to be able to read the document.  I know I can use the vew menu and place them side by side but I also need to email this document out for other to read.  Can you help?

      I have a user that has an old freeware that will take 2 documents and shuffle them together automatically.

      Example

      Document A has 200 pages

      Document B has 200 pages

      Combine the documents but it will take Page 1 of document A, then page 1 of document B becomes page 2, Page 2 of document A, then becomes page 3 and so on until the end.

       

      We don't want freewares in our environment.
      I gave him an Acrobat Pro license to see if it has the functionality but I'm not seeing it.
      Anyone have ideas?

      Here is a work-around, the object is to get all of the pages from documents A & B in alphabetical order, which will allow the tool File> Create> Combine files into single pdf, to preserve the page order.

      Move the two documents into separate folders and give them the exact same names, i.e "Doc"

      Tools> Organize> Extract (with all pages selected)> Extract as separate pages, do the same to both files.

      Select all of the pages in one of the folders and duplicate them, while still selected, move the duplicated pages into the other folder of pages, the page order of the combined folder will be Doc 1 copy, Doc 1, Doc 2 copy, Doc 2, Doc 3 copy, Doc 3 etc.

      File> Create> Combine files into single pdf, navigate to the combined folder. 

      You can make a feature request here to add shuffling combine to a future update:
