Ok, I think I know the problem.

If you are trying to merge two .pdf documents with multiple pages you cannot just drag one on to the other using the thumbnail. Instead, you have to expand the preview in the side-bar (click on the thumb nail once) and then drag the pdf into the newly expanded area.

I hope this helps.

Maybe the pdf files are locked? When you make a pdf file you can ‘lock’ it so no-one else can modify it. Did you make the pdf files?

Does anyone know how to preserve the page number as it was in Word? I managed to combine the pdf files (the multi pdf files created from a single word document) but I need to preserve the page number. Can anyone help.

This is not working for me at all. I have OSX and my Preview is version 5.0.3. I have followed exactly what is written above and nothing happens when I release my mouse as I am hovering over the first page. Nothing pops up in the sidebar, no error message appears, it doesn’t do anything.
