RE: [PDF] Combining PDFs

[Melvin Backus]

This is a long standing bug in the Windows file picker dialogs.  The only way we've found to circumvent the problem is to select things in reverse order.  If you want a range of files, pick the last one first, then shift and select the first one.  If you want individual files, pick the last one then work your way through the list toward the top.  It has been a thorn in our side here for at least the last 5 years.  Ironically, MS applications don't have this issue because they don't use the standard Windows dialog, they have their own custom ones.

One caveat though; when selecting a group of files (as opposed to adding
them individually) for some reason the last or first items get switched
to the opposite end of the queue... easily corrected by 'moving' the
file down in the same dialog box.

This may be a windows operating system bug though, and have nothing to
do with Acrobat.

Acrobat 6 has a nice featue under the File menu called 'Create PDF'. It
would allow you to open the individual chapter PDFs and gather them into
one
PDF document. I have used the feature to organize procedural screen
shots
and it works great.
