Ok, I'm not quite sure how adobe sorts files when combining pdfs, but it seems to be somehow different from MS XP.?Anyway, what I want to do is combine a bunch of pdfs together which are labelled A 1, A 2, A 3... However, I'm finding that when sorting them by name in adobe to combine them in the right order that the 1's, 2's, and 3's get grouped together, where they are then not sorted numerically.?For instance A 2 gets sorted with A 20 and A 200.?Even when I use MS XP to rename (e.g. A (1), A (2)) or use Adobe to extract files from a pdf the files are named in such a way that this always happens.?Anyway to get around this without manually sorting the files?
A better example of what happens:
A 1
A 10
A 11
A 12
A 13
A 14
A 15
A 16
A 17
A 18
A 19
A 100
A 2
A 20
A 21
A 22
A 23
A 24
A 25
and so on and so forth... where I would like
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
A 5...
Sorting files when combining pdfs?Looks like a lexicographic (''dictionary'' or ''telephone book,'') order and not numeric order. You could add leading zeros to have all the file names have the same length.
Sorting files when combining pdfs?The same problem exists when extracting pages...
