Combine PDFs using Preview
Authored by: pw on Jan 18, '04 05:28:09PM

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.

Combine PDFs using Preview
Authored by: smolk@yahoo.com on May 04, '04 10:22:44AM

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.

A Hebrew font which showed well in the original PDF was replaced by blanks, with only a few letters remaining, when combined and opened in Acrobat Reader 6.0 (on MacOS X 10.3.3). Oddly enough, in Preview the combined PDF still showed the font.

I have just installed Panther yesterday evening; it seems than an earlier combination of two files (under Jaguar) was not affected by this problem: this file shows up well in Preview AND Acrobat Reader.

For compatibility issues, it is essential that it works in the Reader!
