File size options for combining files
1. Once you add the files you want to combine, you'll see the added files in the Combine files window. You can decrease or increase the size of the combined file using Options.
Smaller File Size
Reduces large images to screen resolution and compresses the images by using low-quality JPEG. This option is suitable for onscreen display, email, and the Internet.
Default File Size
Create PDFs suitable for reliable viewing and printing of business documents. The PDF files in the list retain their original file size and quality.
Larger File Size
Creates PDFs suitable for printing on desktop printers. Applies the High Quality Print conversion preset and the PDF files in the list retain the original file size and quality.
NoteLarger File Size option may result in a larger file size for the final PDF.
If any source files are already PDFs, the Smaller File Size option applies the Reduce File Size feature to those files. The Reduce File Size feature is not applied if either the Default File Size or Larger File Size option is selected.
2. In the Options dialog box, specify the conversion settings as needed, then select OK.

Do one of the following:
Select the OLE container application’s Insert Object command or Insert Hyperlink command.
(Windows) In Acrobat, select Edit > Copy File To Clipboard, then choose the Paste Special command in the container application.
