In Acrobat, to add files to a new PDF file, click Tools and choose "Combine Files. If you then click "Add Files," you'll see an Explorer or Finder window, but you can also just drag and drop files into this webpage to upload them.
It may take several seconds or even minutes for Adobe to generate thumbnail images of your files on the following page. Once this is done, you can quickly rearrange the order of the files by dragging and dropping. You can also do this later on, but it's quicker to do it now.
Once you are satisfied with their order, click "Combine," and Adobe will generate a single PDF file using these documents.

Organization via Bookmarks and Thumbnails
...
If you right-click on a bookmark, you get a variety of different options, including to delete or change it's destination (where it goes when a reader clicks it.) Probably most useful is "rename," since you may want more descriptive headings than your file names.
You can also manually add bookmarks:
Within your text, Put your cursor on the line to which you want the bookmark to go. Then click the "New Bookmark" button at the top of the Bookmarks list. |

Acrobat will create the Bookmark with the name "Untitled." Rename it accordingly. You can then drag it up or down the list, to put it where it properly belongs, in case it didn't install exactly where it should be. |

Thumbnails
PDFs can contain a set of small "thumbnail" images of each page that together form a quick-navigation tool. In Acrobat or Acrobat reader, this typically appears on the lefthand side when the Page Thumbnails tool is made visible. This tool is probably less valuable for the reader, since the author can better recognize pages represented by the thumbnails, and only pages, rather than headings, are navigation choices here.

If you plan to add front matter to your document that is not paginated, you may wish to wait until that's done before creating page numbers.
