I have a scanner which I need to scan in about 12 pages. I like to send the scanned document to a friend but dont want to send him 12 separate files. Is there anyway of makeing the 12 scanned pages in to one .pdf that you could page through? I all I have is the free adobe downloaded reader. Is there a freeware solution or something in Preview?

you can copy/paste all those pages into one document in any program that you like - textedit will probably do fine - then just go file -> print and there is an option in the print dialog box to "save as pdf..."

Thanks for the suggestion - it worked. Amazing how fast you can get help on thesae boards. Anyway, although Text edit worked, but the scanned pages where broken up. I used MS Word which did a much better job at retaining the original pages. By the way does anyone know why 'saving to pdf " is only an option when printing- seems to me that one should be able to save to pdf under the 'save as' option under file. I wonder why?

I think it is because of the way PDF's were originally created. Stupid and yes apple should change it. Save goes for faxing (choosing print doesn't make sense).

Awesome now this is the kind of program that I was looking for. It produces sharper and more "clean" page breaks. Thanks for the suggestion.
