My PDF documents won't merge

I have followed the direction exactly for merging pdfs in Preview. See below. When I save the document, or duplicate and save with a new name, it only shows me on of the pdfs. Please help.


(1) Open the first pdf file, (2) Open the thumbnails draw (3) Drag in the second pdf file and (4) Save the new pdf.

Of the various solutions for merging two one-page PDFs, the one using the Edit menu worked immediately for me (using El Capitan) – previously posted, restated here:

1. Open the PDF which you want to be p. 1.

2. From the Edit menu in Preview, select Insert>Page from File...

3. Select the other one-page PDF and click "Open." It will become p. 2 of the PDF you opened first.

4. Save.
