I stumbled upon this accidentally - if you select more than one single-page PDF in the Finder and open them in Preview, they become a single multi-page document which can then be saved. Cool!

Combine PDFs using Preview
Perhaps I am missing a step, but when I try this I get a single "pseudo-document" with multiple images. But the images are still treated individually for saving and printing purposes. Therefore, it is useless for joining single page pdfs...

Doesn't work for me either. Not with save or save as or export.

Another doesn't work for me either!
Combine PDFs using Preview
Yep, I've already been up and down Preview trying to find a way to save/print multiple files as a one. I've wanted to do that for conveniently printing a batch of screen captures.

Works fine for me as long as thumbnail view is set. Combine two PDFs. Open each file in preview. Arrange the panes so that you can select all the thumbnails of the pages you want to combine of one file and drag and drop them into the thumbnail pane of the other file (at the end of the thumbnails of you want to combine them serially). Then save file and voilá. Two PDFs combined.

This works if you need it:

It would work if you had Ghostscript (gs) installed, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't come standard with OS X--I've installed my copy via Fink.

Perhaps it works for you if you have some 3rd party apps installed, but on my stock g5, just cracked out of the box 3 days ago and sporting Panther, nothing of the sort occurs.
Is there a 3rd party util that needs to be installed?
Under 10.3.1, I still can't get a combined document by selecting more than one PDF and hitting cmd+O or going into preview and selecting more than one via File Open.
Combine PDFs using Preview
It doesn't work. Previe open multiple files in the same window, displaying the thumbnails in the side panel only if they are the same size. But you CANNOT save them together as only one PDF document containing multiple pages.

It works also with images (tested on 10.3)...
Combine PDFs using Preview
It does work, people, but only in 10.2.X. I selected two PDFs and then right clicked while they were highlighted I then selected and opened preview. Both PDFs could be see. However, following the same instructions will not work in Panther. I tried several ways in Panther and every time it opened both PDFs, but in two different Preview windows. It did not combine them. I think the tip is broken in Panther.

i'm quite a newbie in this forum but i have just downloaded Combine PDF (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20286) a nice freeware tool. It's really easy to handle so maybe you should check it out yourself.

I have tried Combine PDFs several times, and I am impressed with the easy way it works. However, I just discovered a bug, perhaps related to Panther.
