add open file when combining pdfs

[jay fresno]

Before Acrobat DC, I was able to go to the Combine Files dialog box, and one of the choices was "Add Open Files". In Acrobat DC, "Add Open Files" is not in the Add Files drop down list. Was this command removed from Acrobat DC?

The Acrobat DC default preference is to show open PDFs tabs in the same window. If you go to Preferences> General> Open documents as new tabs in the same window, (need to Quit Acrobat) and un-check the preference, the Add Open Files option will appear.

I'm not on windows, but you can try going to Preferences> General> Show online storage when opening files (turn off).

This should be the same on a MacOS and a Windows system.

Make very sure you are NOT using Acrobat Reader.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in response.

The option Add Open files is still available in Acrobat DC. File>Create>"Combine Files into a Single PDF"

Please check the screenshot attached. The option "Add Open Files" only be active when you have files open in Acrobat.
