How to Combine Documents in PDF
The PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file type developed by Adobe and created with Adobe Acrobat. A PDF file can be read cross-platform using the free Adobe Reader. PDF files are ideal for digital documents because they maintain the formatting of the original document, including text and images, regardless of the system on which the PDF file is viewed. With more software programs available today that have the capability of creating PDF files, it's never been easier to create and combine documents into a single PDF file you can share with anyone.

Open your PDF software. While Adobe Acrobat is the original PDF software, there are more affordable programs available today. Nitro PDF can do anything Adobe Acrobat can do. It's cheaper and the installation is less intrusive. For beginners, Nitro PDF is probably a better choice.

Open the first document you wish to include in your combined PDF document. Nitro has the same interface as Word 2007, so go to the "Start" button and select "Open." This is your base document. Save it as something different than the file you opened. Choose a name that will let you know this is your combined document.

Go to the "Insert" menu and browse to the next document you want to insert. Choose whether to insert the new document before or after the original document. Continue following this method to add more documents. Always make sure you're on the page you want to insert new documents before or after.

Tips & Warnings
Nitro installs on the ribbon (what Microsoft calls the toolbars in the newest version of Word) in Microsoft Word 2007, so you can turn your Word documents into PDF files using this feature before you even begin combining documents. This feature is ideal for creating digital anthologies.
