I have several Word docs that I need to combine into one PDF (i.e. dissertation). What's the best/easiest way to do that? I'd rather not deal with combining the Word docs (Word gives me headaches, sometimes).

IOW, what PDF application, if any, would best do the trick?

I found a list of PDF apps here but I don't have time for a lot of trial and error.

Thanks!

If you have Leopard, just drag pages from one PDF into Preview's sidebar of the target PDF. It'll add them.

If not, just use Automator in 10.4 to do it.

Preview in Leopard can rearrange and move pages between PDF documents. Just make PDFs of the Word docs and drag and drop as needed.

Ah, thanks. Unfortunately, I don't have Leopard yet (still deciding when I'm going to upgrade my Mac PB G4 -- probably sometime after graduation!).

PDFLab will do this nicely.

Thanks!

I used PDFLab to combine 9 PDFs into one. Couldn't have been easier.
