Even faster:

1. Open the first PDF file and rename it with a
Save As.
2. Open Explorer to the folder of files you want
to smoosh.
3. Sort them into the right order.
4. Drag and drop them into the body of the first
document.
5. Answer the dialogs once.
6. Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! In they go.

Trick is to drag by the FIRST document in the
selected group, or the sequence gets goofed up.

Hi Joan,

Here's how to merge PDF files using acrobat 4.0.

1. Open one of your PDF files in acrobat.
2. Select Insert Pages from the Document menu.
3. Select the file you wish to insert.
4. A dialog box appears.  Indicate where the file
should be appear.
5. The file should appear where you indicated.

If you want, you can create a couple of bookmarks
that will help the user
navigate between the TOC, body, and index.  If you
are using acrobat 4, you
can do this by:

1. Selecting Show Bookmarks from the Window menu.
Two panels appear, the
left one is the bookmark pane and the right one is
the document pane.
2.  In the document pane, navigate to the desired
page.  For example, if
you want to create a bookmark for the chapter 1,
navigate to the first
page of chapter 1.
3. In the window pane, right click and select Add
bookmark.  The bookmark
icon appears.
4. Type the name of the bookmark in the space
provided.

You can also  drag the bookmarks in the bookmark
pane to indicate
different hierarchical levels if you wish.

Good luck
