This is a simple task, I know, but I'm stumped. I am using max OSX 10.3.9.
I am trying to merge the pages of my old transcripts into a single file. Right now the best copies I get off the scanner are in Tiff format. IF I copy them to Appleworks or place them in Indesign, they become illegible. If I keep them as tiffs, I have 5 separate pages which have to be sent individually. Is there a way (probably an obvious one that I will kick myself over) to get all 5 pages into the same document without sacrificing quality of the files?

Print them to PDF ("Print…" --> "Save as PDF…" from the PDF button) and then merge them using PDF Merge.

(make sure you only work on duplicates)
This is trivially easy to do using the standard Preview.app on 10.5 Leopard, btw.

HI SH. Thank you for the suggestion. I downloaded the software you liked me to, and when I try to open it I get; "error code 10810". Google suggests this is about old software, which might mean my 10.3.9 and sundries are just completely out of the question. Not sure yet.

I recommend Combine PDFs. Luckily for you its minimum requirement is 10.3.9.

You note that you have InDesign. Is that a stand-alone, or did you get it with Creative Suite? If you have Creative Suite, you should also have Acrobat Pro.
If this is the case, you could open the tiffs in Preview, then Print-to-PDF each image, then combine the PDFs in Acrobat.

If he has acrobat, never mind preview, just drag and drop all five tiffs onto acrobat icon, it will merge to one doc.
Acrobat can create a single document from all the image files you are opening. Would you like to put all the image files into one document?

Wow. That's embarrassing. I've been working with Acrobat all these years and I never realized I could do that. In my defense, I will plead a lifelong preoccupation with a 4-color print workflow.
