    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 I'm guessing this video is just outdated.

      With double click i think he means Right click😁
      Or maybe his right click is his double click. But thanks, it was helpful

    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.

    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.

      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").

  • @DontFuckWitDreDay
    @DontFuckWitDreDay 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

    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.
