Merging PDFs with OS X

Posted by pcidss on January 20, 2008

I am wrapping up my manuscript for my first book, and one task is to build an index.  This requires searching through hundreds of pages for key phrases.  I was provided my proofs as PDF files, but separates.  So, after a bit of searching using the OS X Finder and Preview I decided to merge these together.  The task is VERY simple and requires no installation of any software.  I used the automator to get it done.

Follow this gentleman’s article to the T, and you will be merging with no problems.

Best,

James

* BTW – this was my first foray into Automator, and I definitely will be going back…
