The only downside is you get your return email address at the top of the first page. I suppose you could create one blank page pdf as a spacer page then print from page two onwards to get a clean multi-page PDF file.

I recently needed to quickly combine a handful of PDFs into one multi-page file. I found a quick trick that will work for PDFs (and other graphic files, too). Just open Mail and compose a new message. Then drag all the files into the new blank message. Mail will render them right in the email message. Then choose Print and save to a PDF file.

You can also do this with Preview. Just select all of the PDFs you want combined, and then open them all at the same time with Preview. You can then just save this new file as a PDF, or if you prefer you can print to a PDF.
Combine multiple PDFs into one document using Mail
I tired the Preview trick and while it shows all the pages as if it's one document in the preview pane, it won't print them all together. If you try to print or export, it will only combine the pages that were together in the original pdf. Multiple pdf's don't seem to combine.

There is a useful little freeware commandline tool that does this. It's simply called joinPDFand is available from version tracker here.
It's very easy to use just type joinPDF then the destination file, and the original pdf files. It will then append them onto each other in the order you entered them.

ImageMagick will do this among 1000's of other things, including breaking a multiple page pdf into individual docs. I highly recommend it. It can be installed via Fink |
