Default need help printing PDF files in sequence --

Umm... I have these PDF files saved in a folder. I want to combine all the PDFs to one file. How do I do this, and get them in the order that I need? They're pages for a newsletter, and I want to collate them so they print in order, because I am doing half-page printing. Do you know what I mean? Do you have any idea about what to do? I'm just stumped.

Do you have full Acrobat or just reader?

I bought Acrobat 6.0 Pro recently and it does anything you ask it to. Its magic.

No really...I dont think Acrobat "reader" has this functionality. Go buy 6.0 at CDW.com and you'll have one of the best desktop tools out there.

In Acrobat Pro, it's Document>Pages>Insert. As mentioned, the reader can't edit .pdf file (uh, that's why it's called a reader! )

If you don't want to spring for a $600 program to do your newletter. Try Open Office, it's the open source MS Office clone and it's priced right.....free http://www.openoffice.org/

In open office, you can edit MS Word (.doc files) and save them as Adobe .pdf files.

Have fun!
