What is the trick to merging multiple PDFs into one? That never seems to work for me.
- function_seven 4y agoI open them both, then select and drag the pages from one to the other. (Left side bar where the page thumbnails are shown)
- yamtaddle 4y agoAs I just posted elsewhere, I do find I sometimes have to copy a PDF before it'll let me do this to it. I assume it's some kind of flag that isn't preserved through the copy and there's actually a better way to fix it, but my work-around is simple enough that I've never bothered to figure out what it is.
- dagmx 4y agoEither drag between Preview windows or a simple copy paste works for me.
- kevinconroy 4y agoOpen up two docs in preview. Let's say Doc A is the one you want to merge into. Open Thumbnail view in each doc. Select pages in Doc B you want to merge over to Doc A (some or all). Drag and drop into thumbnails view in Doc A. Reorder as desired. Profit. Copy + paste also works.
- wlesieutre 4y agoBeen a while since I used it but IIRC you should be able to show the page thumbnails sidebar in each document and drag them from one window into another. Probably also accessible via Preview’s Automator/Shortcuts actions if it’s something you need to do frequently.
- currency 4y agoCopy a selection of pages from an existing PDF, choose File > New from clipboard. From that point you can edit the pages in the PDF using the thumbnails sidebar and drag pages from other PDFs into the bar.
