Once you have added in your files, you would be able to see all of your PDF files in the file list. However, the order might not be what you desire. Hence, if you want to reorder your PDF files to make sure they get merged in the correct order, simply click the UP and DOWN arrows on the right side of the progress bar. These two buttons will allow you to move any selected PDF file up or down a row.

By clicking on the "Combine Now!" button, the program will immediately start its task. Once the program finishes the Merging, you will see the folder jump out and the merged PDF file "CombinedPDF.pdf" has been generated successfully.
