Do you want to know the best-automated software to combine multiple PDF files on Mac in a few seconds? Then you are at the right place as I will be telling you how to combine separate PDF files on Mac operating systems using MacWareTools recommended software to combine and split PDF files.<\/p>\n

Mac OS X comes with the default viewer application for PDFs and images that is called \u201cPreview\u201d. You can perform some basic functions on your PDF files using the application.<\/p>\n

You can merge pages from one PDF file to another by dragging and dropping the PDF page thumbnails especially if you are using macOS Sierra and the below versions.<\/p>\n

If you want to combine two separate PDF files, perform the following steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step-1:<\/strong> Start by opening a PDF document in the Preview application.
\nStep-2:<\/strong> Now select View > Thumbnails so that page thumbnails can appear in the sidebar.
\nStep-3:<\/strong> To insert the other PDF document you need to indicate the position by selecting a page thumbnail.
\nStep-4:<\/strong> Click on Edit > click on Insert > finally, click on Page from File. (Remember if the \u2018Page from file\u2019 option is dimmed then, the PDF file is having document assembly restriction.)
\nStep-5:<\/strong> Select the other PDF document that you need to insert, from the file dialog, then click Open.
\nStep-6:<\/strong> To save the resultant file, choose File > Export as PDF.<\/p>\n

However, the above solution is a manual solution and fits the smaller number of PDF files. But if you are finding an offline tool that can be used to combine a large number of PDFs then, nothing can beat the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.<\/p>\n

Acrobat is an apex tool for PDF management. It provides numerous PDF-related functionalities like editing, creating, locking, unlocking, signing, enabling permissions, etc.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see how you can merge your PDF files using the above tool!<\/p>\n

How to Combine Separate PDF Files on Mac Using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC<\/h2>\n

Perform the following steps to merge separate PDF files on macOS:<\/p>\n

Step-1:<\/strong> Open Acrobat Pro DC if you have already installed it.
\nStep-2:<\/strong> Now select \u2018File\u2019 > \u2018Create\u2019 > \u2018Combine Multiple Files into a single PDF\u2019.
\nStep-3:<\/strong> Click on \u2018Add Files\u2019 or \u2018Add Open Files\u2019, or you can drag files into the Add Files window.
\nStep-4:<\/strong> Click \u2018Combine\u2019 to merge all of the separate files into one PDF document.<\/p>\n

But there is one downside with this tool- it is quite expensive, costs $14.99 PER MONTH. Also, Adobe asks for a compulsory 1-year subscription so you cannot drop the service anytime you want.<\/p>\n

So if want another offline software option to combine PDFs then, MAC PDF Split<\/a> & Combine Tool is the best option for you and your Mac system. It is safe and provides numerous features for the splitting and merging processes.<\/p>\n

\nStep 4:<\/strong> Select the destination location for saving the resultant PDF, then finally click on \u2018Merge\u2019
