How can I combine several PDF documents into one PDF document?

I have several PDF documents I would like to append to another PDF document. Is that easily done in Writer?

Thanks,

Bob

Hello Kirbo719

No - It can’t be done in Writer only "Draw can edit PDF files.
But apart of that using LibreOffice to merge one or more PDFs into a single one is not the way to go, if you have to do that frequently or the PDFs have more than a few pages. There are definitely tools out there to perform that task more easily (e.g. pdfunite for Linux, just ask the great search machine for “merge pdf documents”). Just one advice: Personally I wouldn’t trust online merging tools, if my documents contain (sensitive) personal information.

Also note that Draw cannot handle different page sizes in a single documents, which limits all imported PDFs to a single page size

LibreOffice can create a PDF but cannot combine two PDF into a single document

I use the free version of Primopdf, which installs on your computer as a virtual printer, so is available even when off-line. This allows you to to make a PDF from any program that allows you to print output. The resulting pdf file is stored as a file on your computer. You can combine several pdf’s into a single one, using the product’s ‘append’ feature, which allows you to add two or more PDF’s together into a single document.
You can google for the website.
