How do I insert a new file into an existing combined file?

Hi Jim,

Happy to help! If you've already combined a file using Adobe PDF Pack, you can open that combined file in the free Adobe Reader (or in Acrobat, if you have that). But, it sounds like you don't have either one installed, so that would be the best place to start. You can download the free Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html. Or, if you want to try Acrobat free for 30 days, you can download that from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. Either one will let you view PDF files.

Some notes:

• You'll need Acrobat if you want to have some control over where new pages are inserted into an existing file. It lets you decide whether the new pages are inserted before or after a specific page. For example, if you have a 12-page document, you could choose to insert the new pages at the beginning, the end, or anywhere in between. (CombinePDF lets you determine the order in which files are combined, but not with that granularity.)
• Reader doesn't allow you to insert one file into another, so your workflow with Reader would be to use Combine PDF on Acrobat.com. You'd select both the previously combined file and the new file, give the combined file and name, and then click Combine. Then, you could view the combined file in Reader.

I hope this all makes sense. It's a lot to take in. Please don't  hesitate to let me know if you would like additional help.

Best,

Sara
