There are several ways to combine PDF files on a Mac, including:
- Using Preview: Preview is a built-in application on macOS that allows you to combine multiple PDFs into one. Open the first PDF in Preview, go to the “View” menu, and select “Thumbnails.” Drag and drop other PDFs into the sidebar of the first PDF to combine them.
- Using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC: This is a paid program that allows you to combine multiple PDFs into one. It is available for both Windows and Mac.
- Using a third-party PDF editor: There are several third-party PDF editors available for Mac, such as PDFelement, PDF Expert, and PDFpen, which provide the feature to combine multiple PDFs into one.
- Using online PDF editor: There are several online editors available, such as Adobe Acrobat online, Smallpdf, or PDFescape, which allow you to combine multiple PDFs into one.
- Using command-line tools: There are several command line tools such as pdftk or Ghostscript which can be used to combine multiple pdfs into one pdf file.
It’s worth noting that not all the above options will work with all the documents and some may alter the original layout, formatting or add watermarks. Additionally, depending on the size of the pdf files, the process may take a long time.
