I'm sure this is pretty easy but how do you combine several PDF documents into one PDF document. I'm looking for a simple solution. I scanned in several documents (at different times) and I want to fax them as a single document.

Thanks!

In Leopard, you can use Preview.

Go to Thumbnail View, and drag and drop pages from one PDF to the other.

Thanks for the quick response. I forgot to mention that I am using Tiger. That didn't work under Tiger. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

PDFLab should do the trick.

Indeed it can. I always found this curious, that Preview itself would not, but Automator would. It's also curious in that the resulting file lands in /tmp, which you can only browse to through Finder by 'Go to Folder...', and there's no mention of the fact that it goes there anyway. Suffice it to say, Go Leopard!

You just need another action to save the file where you want it.

Pre-Leopard I used a small freeware app called Combine PDFs.
