Step 3: Now browse to the directory that contains your target PDF files and import them. You can press the Shift + Left mouse button to select all the files in a single entry and import them in the combiner.
Step 4: After importing all the PDF files that you want to convert you can drag the individual files left and right or up and down if there are multiple lines, to sort the PDF files in the correct order.
Step 5: Then click Combine files from the bottom-right corner of the dialogue box. It will take a few seconds. Wait until the computer asks for which directory you want to save the newly created combined PDF file. You can rename it and open it to see if everything is done correctly. Then press enter to save it
