To do the task, you are going to use an app called Adobe Acrobat Reader.

1. Open the Adobe Acrobat Reader website and download and install the app on your computer. It should not take too long to download if you have a good Internet connection.

2. Once the app is installed on your computer, double-click on its shortcut available on your desktop to launch the app. If you are on Mac, you can click on Launchpad in your Dock and then search for and click on Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to open the app.

3. When the app opens, you should be in the Home tab where you can see the recently opened PDF files. This is not where you can find the combine PDF option. For that, you need to click on the option that says Tools at the top to find the combining tool in the app.

4. Inside the Tools section, you will find an option that says Combine Files. There will be a dropdown menu beneath the tool name. What you need to do is click on the Add option in the tool and it will let you add a PDF file for combining it with another file.

5. You can then select the files you wish to combine and the app will take care of the rest for you.
