Need code to merge PDF files in a folder using adobe acrobat x

I need to change the code so that it only combines the first page of each of the PDFs to be merged. The reason for doing so is that I have a lot of PDFS to go through and want to keep the file size down. I have tried changing the variable n=1 but that hasn't worked. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sub Main()
   
    Const DestFile As String = "MergedFile.pdf" ' <-- change to suit
   
    Dim MyPath As String, MyFiles As String
    Dim a() As String, i As Long, f As String
   
     ' Choose the folder or just replace that part by: MyPath = Range("E3")
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
         '.InitialFileName = "C:\Temp\"
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        If .Show = False Then Exit Sub
        MyPath = .SelectedItems(1)
        DoEvents
    End With
   
      ' Populate the array a() by PDF file names
    If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then MyPath = MyPath & "\"
    ReDim a(1 To 2 ^ 14)
    f = Dir(MyPath & "*.pdf")
    While Len(f)
        If StrComp(f, DestFile, vbTextCompare) Then
            i = i + 1
            a(i) = f
        End If
        f = Dir()
    Wend
   
    ' Merge PDFs
