Combining Files into a PDF

Information comes to us in all different file types, sizes and formats. That’s why Nitro is such an important tool -- not only do you have the ability to convert files to and from PDF, but further collaborate streams of documents by combining files. The Combine feature allows you to join together multiple files, regardless of the file type, into a single PDF.

Using Nitro Pro you can combine different files and file types into a single PDF.

Combining entire PDF documents

  1. Open on of the documents you want to combine.
  2. Set the Sidebar to show Thumbnails in both PDFs. Show Thumbnail view in the Sidebar by clicking on the Sidebar button in the toolbar and selecting Thumbnails from the menu (View > Thumbnails).
  3. Drag and drop the PDF document from Finder, into the Sidebar in Nitro PDF Pro.

The document will appear wherever you drop them. If you want them added to the beginning of the PDF, drop them in front of the pages already there. Likewise for the middle or end.

 

Combining pages from two documents

  1. Open the two PDF files that you want to combine.
  2. Set the Sidebar to show Thumbnails in both PDFs. Show Thumbnail view in the Sidebar by clicking on the Sidebar button in the toolbar and selecting Thumbnails from the menu (View > Thumbnails).
  3. Select all the thumbnails in one of the PDFs by selecting one thumbnail and choosing Edit > Select All (Command+A) from the menu.
  4. Drag the thumbnails from the Sidebar of one PDF to the other.

The pages will appear wherever you drop them. If you want them added to the beginning of the PDF, drop them in front of the pages already there. Likewise for the middle or end.

Tips: If you only want to combine selected pages from two PDFs, see Adding Pages to learn how to select multiple pages at a time. You can import one PDF into another by choosing File > Insert. The pages of the file you choose are inserted after the current page.
