In an Adobe Acrobate 8 Professional brochure it indicates that the product can "regenerate a combined Adobe PDF document after any of its source files have been revised, without having to locate and gather the native files again".
I have not been able to figure out how to do this. Do you know how? Or can you tell me what this statement really means?
This would be great if adobe acrobat would notice when my excel sheets changed and would update my combined file so I would not have to start from scratch each quarter to create a new combined pdf file.
So you have for example 4 Word files. File 1-4.
Click on Combine Files and add these Word files and either combine them in a package or merge them into one PDF file (binder).
This will give you your original package or binder consisting of the 4 word files.
Now you update any or all of the 4 Word files, make sure you do not rename them.
back in Acrobat click on 'Combine Files', this time click on 'reuse Files', this will show any past combine operations you have done.
Select the package or binder that contains the now updated source files and (re)create the package or binder.
