  1. Can't Merge multiple PDF files into one file in Explorer


    As the title says, I want to merge several PDF files into one using the Print to PDF feature. I have used Adobe Acrobat Reader as the default program. The Print option in Explorer doesn't merge the files, it merely prints them to PDF separately. I don't see a print dialogue, only a save file dialogue once I click on print, and there's a separate save file dialogue for each file I selected. Multiple guides online say that selecting multiple files, right clicking and selecting Print will merge them into one. I have personally experienced this behaviour before with images on Windows 10.

    Cannot merge multiple files with Print to PDF

    This doesn't solve a problem that used to have a solution in windows. Selecting multiple portable document files (.pdf) used to allow you to 'merge' them without using outside software. This no longer seems to be the case.

    Cannot merge multiple files with Print to PDF

    Hello,

    I have Windows 10. The only Printer installed is "Microsoft Print to PDF". I need to merge two separate files into one but for some reason whenever I try to do that (select the two icons, right-click, select Print) I get two separate printing windows (in
    chronological order, that is the second will not appear until I have saved the first PDF) and the files would not merge. I have tried with PDFs as well as .doc files with the same result.

    What can I do?
