Thank you, all. OP here. I downloaded Nitro on free trial basis and so far it has worked beautifully. Might end up buying it after all.

OP.. how many pdf files and/or pages are you planning to combine? there are many free ones out there.

myself, i've been using adolix for > 5-7 yrs. there is a limit on max pages for free version. i rarely encounter it though.

this is on windows platform.

Incidentally you can combine PDFs easily in Acrobat Standard, you don't need Pro unless you are redacting stuff.

Op, if you want to get crazy and do this in 30 seconds do this:


Open PowerShell, copy and past line by line change what I have in bold to match your paths.

1. Install-Module PSWritePDF -Force
2. Update-Module PSWritePDF
3. $FilePath1 = "C:\Users\beanz2\Documents\Document_1.pdf"
4. $FilePath2 = "C:\Users\beanz2\Documents\Document_2.pdf"
5. $FilePath3 = "C:\Users\beanz2\Documents\Document_3.pdf
6. $FilePath4 = "C:\Users\beanz2\Documents\Document_4.pdf"
7. $FilePath5 = "C:\Users\beanz2\Documents\Document_5.pdf"
8. $FilePath6 = "C:\Users\beanz2\Documents\Document_6.pdf"
9. $FilePath7 = "C:\Users\beanz2\Documents\Document_7.pdf"
10. $OutputFile = "C:\Users\beanz2\Documents\OutputDocument.pdf"
11. Merge-PDF -InputFile $FilePath1, $FilePath2, $FilePath3, $FilePath4, $FilePath5, $FilePath5, $FilePath7 -OutputFile $OutputFile

Done. Sleep.

Nice post!
