Acrobat -- Batch Combine All PDF Files in a Folder


Direct purchase using PayPal ($85 per license)!

A free demo version of this tool that will combine up to two files in each folder can be found here.


This is a new batch tool, so it can only be used in Acrobat Pro.
With this tool you can combine all of the (PDF) files in a folder to a single file (in order!) and have this file saved into the same folder (using the folder's name as the new file name).
New feature: You can now select to automatically create a bookmark pointing to each file in the merged document.
ANOTHER new feature: Now you can also select to create a single, "master" file at the end of the process, which contains all of the processed files, including a bookmark for each folder and file.

Acrobat -- Combine 2 Folders of PDF Files




Direct purchase using PayPal ($40 only per license)!

Update (06/06/2020): A free demo version that will combine up to 3 files in the selected folders is now available here.

With this script the merging process of two folders of PDF files with identical file-names can be automated easily. Say you have one folder with PDF letters for clients and another folder with their bills (also in PDF format), all named the same way (using the clients' names, for example).
Now you want to merge the letter for each client with their corresponding bill. How would you go about doing it? Well, with this tool it is very easy and very quick.

All you have to do is run the provided Action on the first folder, and then click the "Combine 2 Folders" button that the script adds to your Acrobat. Then you select the second folder, and the output folder (where the merged files will be saved), and let the script do the rest.

Within a matter of seconds you'll have a complete folder filled with the merged files, ready to be sent out to your clients!

The only pre-condition is that the files in both folders are named the same way... And of course you will need Acrobat Pro to be able to run the Action.

Direct purchase using PayPal ($40 only per license)!

If you've ever scanned in a booklet you know that splitting the double pages and re-organizing them in the correct order can be a tedious job... Well, not anymore!
This new tool for Acrobat will split booklet pages into a single page format, and then sort them to the correct order.

The tool can handle both Left-Bound and Right-Bound files. So for example, a left-bound file that looks like this:


Will be converted to this:


Here's a real example of such a file:

Acrobat -- PDF Analytics



Direct purchase using PayPal ($99 only per license)!

This tool introduces a concept that is common with other file types to PDF files: PDF Analytics.

Using this tool you can find out how your files are used in the real world: For how long are they viewed; In which applications they're opened; are they printed? How long is each page viewed in each session? etc.

The scripts, once applied, monitor and record the exact times each of the following events take place:
  • File Open: Including the details of the application used to open the file, its location on the computer and whether or not it's viewed inside a browser window
  • File Close
  • Page Enter
  • File Will Save
  • File Did Save (including the new file path)
  • File Will Print
  • File Did Print
It's important to realize, though, this this process is completely hidden from the users using the file, and they'll not be aware of it running in the background.

This data is saved within the file and can be extracted when the file is submitted back to you.
Under certain circumstances the data can even be submitted back to a web-based service (PHP, SOAP, etc.)


The tool adds buttons to Acrobat that allow you to apply the PDF Analytics to a file, remove it from a file, save the raw data, or clear it.

Applying the PDF Analytics scripts to a single file is easily done through the custom button, or even using the provided Action (to multiple files):

The results can be exported to a plain-text file that contains the raw data collected by the script.
