Many times the need arises to create multiple PDF documents from various sources and file types. This feature allows a PDF creation from several files within a directory. Once the pages are created, further editing can be done such as adding header and footer sections and including page numbering. Combined pages can be rearranged as desired.
How to make a PDF with multiple pages? Since many corporate customers have that question, we choose to demonstrate the process in a few different ways. Many companies frequently need to merge many documents to create multi-page PDFs for sending to their clients, vendors, and even for internal usage. These documents may include portfolios, specifications, requirements, and other types of papers (training, etc.). This article demonstrates how to create a multi-page PDF in two different ways, step-by-step. You can quickly learn how to create a multi-page PDF using these techniques without using Acrobat or paying its expensive price. For this exercise, we'll use Wondershare PDFelement - PDF Editor, a cost-effective alternative to Adobe Acrobat DC that is quickly taking over as the standard PDF editor for small and large businesses that don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars rolling out Acrobat DC or Acrobat Pro DC throughout their organization.
Steps to Create a Multi-page PDF
This method uses the "Combine PDF" and "Combine Files" functions in PDFelement. The first one can be found on the home page when you load the application; the second is on the "Tool" tab. The step-by-step process for both is shown below:
Step1. Click "Combine Files"
To merge other file types and create a single, multi-page PDF, click the "Combine Files" option in the "Tool" tab.
Step2. Add Multiple Files
A "Combine Files" window will appear on your screen. You can click "Add file" to import files of different formats, as shown in the screenshot below.
Step3. Create a Multi-Page PDF
To merge the files after adding the source files, select the output folder at the bottom of the window and press the "Apply" button. You can see that all of the original content has been kept exactly as it was in the original source files in the output file, which is a PDF. When you have different content types like text, photos, tables, graphs, charts, and so on, this is extremely crucial.
