HERE’s ONE WAY… We routinely install on every PC a ‘FREEWare’ product we like called PDF reDirect (there are several other completing tools too) that allows you to select it as a printer from any application that can print, and then starts-up the PDF reDirect software to create a PDF with a name you prefer and a location you navigate to. Features of PDF reDirect that are relevant to your “…join PDFs into one PDF…” question include the ability to merge selected PDFs together into a larger PDF file. Here’s a snap-shot sample of how it works. Open PDF reDirect and navigate to the PDF’s to be combined one-by-one (See ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ below) Click the Plus (e.g. add button) to add each PDF in order. (See ‘D’) When all the PDFs to be merged are present give the new merged PDF a name (See ‘E’) Press the [Save] button (See ‘F’) Another feature if interest is the ability to be viewing a PDF inside a viewer like ‘Word To Pdf Conversion Reader DC’ and then choosing to print only selected pages that themselves become a PDF.
If there is no difference at all between Word and other file types, it's probably ok. But if you have different file types in the same file type group, and they have different attributes, that's going to look strange and out of place in Word. This can be an easy way to make Word think you are trying to make some other application do something unusual. As an aside, we've noticed that even people outside the Word team have sometimes used Word to create images that look like they came from PowerPoint. Let's talk about some of these common tricks, which will make it easy for you to avoid them. File types are usually the same as application (or application type, or application extensions). In Word 2007 or a later version, file types like Excel were called “application extensions.” In Word 2007 and later, an extension is a name.
