I enclose the following AppleScript that serves to generate a unique PDF file (using Adobe Distiller) from one series of files (with names ending with .ps or .eps) contained in one folder. Use: drag and drop the folder on the droplet, et voliĆ !

Combine multiple EPS to one PDF via Distiller
It probably is not a good idea to call the script epstopdf as there is a commandline perl script for doing this with the same name. I think it is installed from ghostscript, a defualt install with OS X. Just trying to alert folks to possible confusion.
Combine multiple EPS to one PDF via Distiller
If not you can use the following to take the pdfs and join them:

Or just a one-liner with ImageMagic:

Combine multiple EPS to one PDF via Distiller
Distilling multiple files is built into distiller though. We're still using an old distiller (4) on OS 9, but I bet the functionality is still there. It is not as simple as a GUI "Distill all these", but in the "Xtras" foilder there are two files RunFilEx.ps and RunDirEx.ps that are sufficiently commented to demo how to concatenate arbitrary files, or whole folders of eps/ps files
I'm not sure about the above applescript, but I know for sure with this method that font subsets are amalgamated with this method, where simple concatenation of PDFs ends up duplicating font data producing larger files than needed |
