Acrobat Insider: Introducing Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
the user interface and procedures have been streamlined in Acrobat 8.
When you start Adobe Acrobat 8, you’ll discover the new user interface and 
Getting Started page
. This control panel gives you quick access to the most 
common tasks you may want to accomplish with Acrobat, such as creating a 
new PDF, combing files, and reviewing and marking up files. After you select the 
operation you want to perform in Acrobat, you're taken step by step through 
each action and presented with choices for various options, in wizard-like fashion.
The new Getting Started page gives you quick access to common tasks in Acrobat 
8 Professional. 
 
To combine multiple files and different file types into one multi-page Adobe PDF 
file, click the Combine Files panel. In the next file list selection box, click the Add 
Files button. Select the files you want to add, put them in the order you want 
them to appear in the PDF, and then click Next.
At this point, you can choose to combine the files into one PDF file or keep them 
separate in a PDF Package. (More about packages in a minute.) To combine files 
into one PDF, select Merge files into a single PDF. When you're ready, click the 
Create button. Conversion of common file types into PDF files happens 
automatically in most cases. For file types that aren't automatically converted, 
you may need to convert them into PDF files separately beforehand, using the 
Adobe PDF printer driver, or add them into the combined PDF file later, after 
conversion. That’s it. Each individual file starts on a new page in the combined 
file, and a bookmark is automatically created for each one. (You can customize 
the bookmarks before the combined file is created.)  
 
streamlines tasks with a 
new interface.
