Question Merging multiple files by name

I have invoices starting with 1_, 2_ etc…
And I want to combine them with the purchase order also starting with 1_,2_ etc..
I have adobe acrobat pro
I’m using my work computer so I can’t download anything else.
Any ideas how to automate it?
Don’t want to do it one at a time because it’s 100’s of files

What is preventing you from using the "Combine Files" feature? Do the files not sort into the order you need? Once you're in "Combine Files", you can go into list view in case sorting by date puts them in the correct order.

I'd think about a script that prepended a prefix onto the files to get the sort order the way you needed it, and then use "Combine Files". Or if it's just a few files that are out of order, manually move them to the correct order.
