let me save you all the time!! highlight the pdfs together and double click and go to quick actions and press create PDF and it combines them all. I'm guessing this video is just outdated.
Just a tip: make sure that you have the sidebar option set to "Thumbnail" to be able to do this! It took me quite some time to figure that out so just thought I'd share in hopes of helping someone :)
@@ilikecartoons3543 I doubt this will be of any help since I'm so late to answer, but figured it might help others in the future too: when you're in the preview and looking at your document, you click on the box all the way to the top left underneath the red & yellow buttons. It will say "view menu" when you hover over it. Click and select "thumbnails" and then you will be able to drag pages from separate docs & reorganize.
Brilliant vid - straight to the point with no unnecessary bullshit. Thanks so much. I've had a Mac for eleven years and I've never learnt how to do this.
Woah! I have been jumping hoops for about three years periodically needed combined pdf’s. Your simplicity and ease to do this was amazing. I am truly thankful and appreciative. Thank you!
First you open one of the files and then you can click and drag in the other files into that file you opened. I have a macbook and this is how I was able to do that :)
After you "opened them all up," they all appeared in the thumbnails; when I "open them all up," they both open, but as separate docs...how come for you they just all magically appeared in the same doc, then you hit "select all" and they all get selected; for me, when I hit "select all," it just highlights everything in the one document for which I hit the edit button for (so I could "select all").
I select the two PDFs on my desktop but they open in Acrobat and not Preview. So how do I get them to open in Preview and follow the rest of the steps as shown??
If anyone is looking for how to combine multiple PDF's I found a simpler way, as I'm writing this Dec 2023 things might change in the future, but as of now select the PDFs you want to combine then right click a list will pop up, all the way in the bottom will be "Quick Actions" hover over that and another list will appear with the option "Create PDF" click that and there you're done.
Thank you. But what they ask me is this: The package must be presented as a PDF package with (*single page and indexed). And I don't know how to do it with a single page. Can you explain me please. Thx
Once I go to "print," since I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, I don't have the option to print as a pdf, so I don't know what to do. Otherwise, this was very clear. I paused the video to stop and take notes.
Thank you so much ..,🙂👍🏿what if I want to create individual PDFs but still keep the name of the folder ?whenever I create the individual PDFs it asks me to "save as".. and it overrides everything that I have.... but I want to put individual PDFs inside that one folder without changing the name of the folder.. thank you so much 🙂🙂

the 🐐
With double click i think he means Right click😁
Or maybe his right click is his double click. But thanks, it was helpful
@@jasmeetsingh5425 yep thats what i meant 👍
You know you are a legend right
You are a decent man, thanks.

How does one do that?
thank you

thank you for that tip that was needed for my troubleshooting!!!
Brilliant vid - straight to the point with no unnecessary bullshit. Thanks so much. I've had a Mac for eleven years and I've never learnt how to do this.
I was looking this video for weeks. every other waste time. This just under 50sec solved my problems. Thank you thousand times.
Cannot understand why Mac makes it so complicated. thanks for sharing
Woah! I have been jumping hoops for about three years periodically needed combined pdf’s. Your simplicity and ease to do this was amazing. I am truly thankful and appreciative. Thank you!
BRILLIANT! This took less than one minute without any extra downloads. I am sure I will be seeing more of your videos soon.
OK. I figured out how to open in Preview but when I do two documents open separately so I'm unable to do a Select All from the Edit menu.
I also need help with this :(
First you open one of the files and then you can click and drag in the other files into that file you opened. I have a macbook and this is how I was able to do that :)
easiest way to combine!! watched a lot of other ways, could not get it, but this one is MAGIC!! thank you
Short, sweet and to the point. Thanks for the help.
Thank you for helping me to convert file❤.
Thank you for saving my life. If I hadn't found this vid then I might not of passed my internal!!!!
Georgia Tindle im sure u had online exam
😂

same shit
Same
In Mojave, you can just highlight all the pdf files and then right click and click on "Make PDF" and then all your files become one PDF.
This worked like a charm when I couldn't get the above video to work. Thank you!!
Still works beautifully in 2022!
Thank you! Apple's own instructions do not work, but yours do!
Omg! You saved my life 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Exactly what I was looking for. It was so frustrating scanning mortgage docs and having each one as 1 page even with a document feeder. Thank you!
Most useful and concise video ever. Thank you!
Thank you so much for not woffling on about crap. direct and straight to it. thank you!
So helpful! Thank you! So easy and concise!
literally just saved me from failing an exam cause i couldn't figure out how to merge my scanned solutions into one pdf. God bless you
Extremely helpful. Thanks
Thank you! I looked at other videos and had a hard time doing this. Thanks for the help.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS A LIFESAVER UGH BLESS YOUR SOUL AND ALL YOUR ORGANS
Thank you for the tutorial! When using the Apple Help menu, their instructions left off the important steps of "select all", "Print", "save as PDF".
you saved my life today
Mine open in two different preview windows, not one with the side bar
I select the two PDFs on my desktop but they open in Acrobat and not Preview. So how do I get them to open in Preview and follow the rest of the steps as shown??
Thank you! I almost had an aneurysm trying to combine pdfs earlier. All the other tutorials and recommendations did not work.
Thanks, i did use side bar and added the needed files.
that helped alot.
short and snappy, thanks
So efficient and easy to follow! Subscribing for sure.
Straight to point like this. Thank you.
Select all PDFs -> right click -> Quick Actions -> Create PDF
Thank you, this is the only video that helped!!

Thank you so much! This was very helpful and exactly what I needed... and it worked :)
You're such a blessing and a life saver. Thanks a lot
Huh? What if it's in 2 different documents?
Thank you, perfect video.
THANK YOU
Thank you!!!!
Thanks!
Thank you
You are a saint! THANK YOU!

very good job
thanks!
That doesn’t work in 2022
Order of pages is always backwards & no options I'm seeing to change that. Is there a way to combine them from 1 to 25 rather that 25 to 01?
thanks
Finally , thank you
Thank you for a quick and concise explanation. As usual, it's inherently obvious how to accomplish this task on a Mac. (joke)
THANK YOU!
Life saver!!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you
This helped!
Dude you are so fucking awesome! Thank you!!!!! Has anyone ever told you you sound like kip from Napoleon dynamite?
Thanks so much
HOw do you get them to open after we select files????????
nobody will tell you, haha, and for sure this howtomac at least, he even got a bad throat itch if he was talking this scenario
this saved my life, this had me confused for a long time. thanks for making simple XD
What if you don't have a printer ?
Thank you!
THANKS!
opens them as separate pdfs now.

Thank you for this. Adobe wants us to pay a premium just to merge pdf files. ridiculous.
They two open up separately..any help?
I have the same problem!
Despite selecting all together, files are previewing differently
your a G
thanks it didn't work and you didn't show how you opened them, disliked
shame i had to watch a video about this. great video tho. apple sucks as usual. there used to be a save button instead of pdf. f the apple eat the corps
This is why I hate Mac
rubbish
Thank you
THANK YOU
