Creating a project manual to combine documents

Summary

This ACD5 article explains how to create a project manual by combining multiple project documents into a single PDF, including importing non-software-generated PDFs like cover letters or attachments.

You can combine multiple project documents into a single PDF file by creating a project manual. To include non software-generated PDF files (such as cover letters or attachments) in a project manual, you must first import them to a project using the Import File button.

To create a project manual:

1. Go to the Projects tab.
2. Select a project from the projects list.
3. In the Project Details area, click the Project Manual button.
4. Select the check box beside each document to be included in the project manual (you may select PDFs from multiple projects).  
5. Use the arrow buttons to arrange documents in the order in which you want them to appear in the project manual. You can remove a document from the project manual by unselecting its check box.
6. If you would like to edit the title of the project manual, type a new name in the Save Project Manual as text box. Click OK. 
7. The project manual will appear in the list of your project documents. Click on the file to download.
