Fix PDF Combine Errors: Password, Page Size & Font Issues

Industry: Construction

Introduction

Imagine you're trying to put a few PDF files together using Adobe Acrobat. One person had trouble with this because the first page, the "cover sheet," started showing the letters as weird squares. This cover sheet was really important because it told you the order of all the pages that needed to be combined: first the cover sheet, then "Arch Const Pages," "Structural Apex," "Hollow Core," "TJI 1," "TJI 2," and finally "RT 1."

Because the letters turned into squares on the cover sheet, it looked unprofessional and made it hard to read the important instructions about the page order. The person was using Adobe Acrobat to do this. The main problem was getting the cover sheet to look right after combining all the PDFs. They wanted to put all the files together in the correct order without any errors, so the cover sheet stayed clear and easy to understand. People who have the same problem might search online for things like "combine PDF in Acrobat with font problems," "PDF merge makes letters into squares," or "Acrobat PDF combining error on first page."
