Note: If any of the source files are already PDFs, the Smaller File Size option applies the Reduce File Size feature to those
files. The Reduce File Size feature is not applied if either the Default File Size or Larger File Size option is selected.
Default File Size Creates PDFs suitable for reliable viewing and printing of business documents.
Larger File Size Applies the High Quality Print conversion preset.
Insert one PDF into another
1 Open the PDF that serves as the basis of the combined file.
2 Choose Tools > Pages > Insert From File.
3 Select the PDF.
4 In the Insert Pages dialog box, specify where to insert the document (before or after the first or last page, or a
designated page). Click
OK.
5 To leave the original PDF intact as a separate file, choose Save As, and type a new name for the merged PDF.
You can also add an existing file to an open PDF. Drag the file icon directly into position in the Page Thumbnails
panel in the navigation pane.
Insert a clipboard selection into a PDF (Windows)
You can insert one or more pages of selected content copied from any application into an existing PDF.

(in most applications, by choosing Edit > Copy File To Clipboard).
2 Open the PDF that serves as the basis of the combined file.
3 Choose Tools > Pages > More Insert Options > Insert From Clipboard.
4 In the Insert Pages dialog box, specify where to insert the selection (before or after the first or last page, or a
designated page). Click
OK.
5 To leave the original PDF intact as a separate file, choose Save As, and type a new name for the merged PDF.
Placing PDFs as linked files in other documents
You can incorporate PDFs into other types of files that support Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), such as
InDesign® or Word files. These files are called OLE container documents. Later, if you make changes to the original
PDF, the OLE features in the container application can update the embedded file in the container document, reflecting
your changes to the original PDF.
❖ Do one of the following:
• Choose the OLE container application’s Insert Object command or Insert Hyperlink command.
• (Windows) In Acrobat, choose Edit > Copy File To Clipboard, and then choose the Paste Special command in the
container application.
