Creating One PDF from Muliple PDFs(long)

Important Facts

For DPC job submission, rather than having to fill out several job tickets, for PDFs that have the same printing speci cations (i.e. sheet size, color/B and W, simplex/duplex, orientation, scaling), it can be more efficient to combine all PDFs into one PDF. This will also speed up processing time in the DPC.

This user guide is intended to instruct you on how to combine multiple PDFs into one PDF file. Follow these simple instructions using Adobe Acrobat 8.
