There are 2 ways
1. With the full version of Acrobat, it's easy.
Open the first chapter. INSERT the other chapters, one at a time (there's an insert option under DOCUMENT, I think). You can add post-it type comments, highlight text, add bookmarks, create links, etc.
You can't do this with just the Reader, but you should have (or be able to get) the full version.
2.There's an easier way, and it's fully automated.
Create a text file. In this text file there will be some commands that tell Distiller where your .pdf files are, and to merge them all into one. I'm going to paste my text file below.
All I do is drag and drop this text file into my "In" folder, and distiller does the rest. If your text file is called "MyNovel.txt", Distiller will create one .pdf called MyNovel.pdf, will all your little .pdf's in your Outbox.
The only thing you will need to modify, is the line starting with /Pathname. Simply modify what is in the ().
%===========================================
/PathName (f:/decals/temp/*.eps) def % Edit this to point to the folder
% containing the PS files.
/RunDir { % Uses PathName variable on the operand stack
{ /mysave save def % Performs a save before running the PS file
dup = flush % Shows name of PS file being run
RunFile % Calls built in Distiller procedure
clear cleardictstack % Cleans up after PS file
mysave restore % Restores save level
}
255 string
