Creating One PDF from Muliple PDFs(short)

Rather than having to fill out several job tickets, for PDFs that have the same printing specifications (i.e. sheet size, color/B&W, simplex/duplex, orientation, scaling), it is more efficient to combine all PDFs into one. This will also speed up processing time in the DPC. Follow these simple instructions for Adobe Acrobat.


  1. Go to: File → Create PDF → From Multiple Files...

  2. Select Add Files...

  3. Select the PDFs that should be combined.

  4. Create the PDF.

    • Note: In Acrobat 8, be sure to use the option to merge files into a single PDF as opposed to assembling files into a PDF Package.

  5. Upload to SPM-Portal at spm-portal.rit.edu.
