Scan it as TIFF files and combine the files in Photoshop.

Thank you for the information. I managed to create new PDF page. I then used crop to cut the other PDF, but it would not paste to the new PDF page. Something I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Try to create a new PDF page with the dimensions you need (I guess that is double the scanned pages). Then Select each graphic and copy/paste to the new PDF. You might try an optimize first (I would work on a copy) to straighten the file display if it is skewed. You could also crop and then use the Protect>remove hidden items to delete the cropped area. At least that is what I would try if I wanted to do it in Acrobat. There may be some better solutions coming.

Thank you for your help. Is there around it in the Acrobat 9 Pro itself or we have to go around this as per your suggestion?

Thanks again

What we do is use the snipping tool (if you have one for your mac). It's a tool that cuts your image on your desktop and turns it into a Jpeg. You can then crop it, put it on a word document, and repeat the process with the other items. Then, print that word document to PDF. That's our work around for it.

The drawing I am scanning is too large for the scanner, so I scanned left and right. Now I want to crop and paste this two scanned files into one. I have Acrobat 9 Pro, is this possible? I am using MAC version. Thank you
