Adobe Acrobat vs. Solid PDF Creator Plus: Combining Two PDF Files

This comparison focuses on combining two PDF files using either Adobe Acrobat or Solid PDF Creator Plus. The steps below could just as easily apply to combining five or ten PDF files, as the process is the same for both products.

With Solid PDF Creator Plus you can either set your preferred settings or accept the default ones and then quickly create PDF files.
