Combining 2 PDF files into one

Options
Really struggling to do this. Googled it and no joy. It is a work laptop so unable to download software due to permissions so am at a loss as to what to do. The laptop has basic Adobe.

Any advice appreciated.

    A work laptop?

    Copy the two PDF onto a memory stick, then use your own computer/laptop to find appropriate freeware to achieve the goal. Put resulting combined file back onto me mory stick and thence back onto work laptop.

    Alternatively https://online2pdf.com/ Not a recommendation, just the first one I found via Google.

    Or you could have printed and scanned them ;)

    In organisations where I've worked, that would be a very quick way to end up on a disciplinary due to breaching the security policy!

    There's a powerful but unintuitive bit of software called pdfsam (PDF split and merge) which is great for joining, splitting, interleaving, reordering, etc PDF files. It's a good one for your toolkit

    Most work PCs will have very limited PDF programs so suggestions you use a work PC won't work. Unless someone at your work has a PC with an PDF editing program.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    Doesn't MS Word do a reasonable job thesedays of opening a .pdf, converting to .docx, thus making editable in Word, and then offering to resave as a .pdf?

    Not unless you want your document mangling, an article chosen with you in mind Alf.

    PDFSam is a freeware PDF combiner/splitter/split/rotate/extractor. Used it for many years. http://www.pdfsam.org/
