In the Preview app
on your Mac, open the PDFs you want to combine.
In each open PDF, choose View > Thumbnails to display the page thumbnails in the sidebar.
Drag the thumbnails you want to add to the thumbnail sidebar in the other PDF. Command-click to select nonadjacent thumbnails.
You can add pages to the end of the document or between pages in a document. Drag thumbnails to reorder them.
Tip: To add an entire PDF to the beginning or end of another PDF, drag the PDF icon in the Finder to the sidebar of an open document.
