I have 3 parts of manuals in pdf form- 30 pages each.
PS 7 can open them and all the pages are individual files. how do i combine them into one pdf file of 90 pages?
preferable openable by adobe reader!
thanks all

can’t do it in photoshop 7. only single page pdfs. you’ll need acrobat or another pdf handler for that.

downloaded a joining software and it would not open the pdfs saying i needed the pdfs password. ps elements 5 said the same thing. but ps 7 opened them.
maybe it can save them without a password???
thanks

maybe, but like bob said, it might rasterize much of the page and you’d get huge files. if this is a one shot thing, get the full version acrobat trial which is good for 30 days and use that. if you find it’ll be recurring, you’ll have to decide if the trial is good enough for you to consider purchasing it.

don’t mess with your system clock while running a trial. the trial will immediately terminate.

thanks for the great idea dave.
took forever to get adobe on the computer.but but but
shoulda worked.
didn’t work.
passwords again.
photoshop 7 opens them as multi bitmap files.
any ideas?
thanks again

The fact that they’re password protected means whoever created then intended for them not to be messed with.

and as bitmat files they probably wont be searchable.

You shouldn’t be doing this with Photoshop. It needs to be done in Acrobat. Photoshop will rasterize all type and the file size will explode.
