10.4: Combine PDFs without using Automator
If I recall correctly, "Combine PDFs" downsamples PDF files. I had a couple of PDFs at 300 dpi that I wanted to combine, and when I opened the resulting file, it was blurry when I zoomed in. I did a Get Info in Preview and found that the image had been downsampled to 72 dpi. I believe that's why I stopped using it.
10.4: Combine PDFs without using Automator
Last week I used CombinePDFs 2.1 for scanned legal documents which needed to be possibly printed at a later date from a CD submission as part of a franchise renewal package. I saved the original documents in Photoshop as TIFF files, used the Print dialog save to PDF rather than the Photoshop PDF format as it was less than half the file size. Then I combined them using CombinePDFs 2.1 without any change in the basic files sizes, and finally ran the files through PDF Shrink at a High Quality Print setting to drop the file size by about 30 -40%. Zooming in 800% in Acrobat reader showed a crisp image which printed as well as the original scans.
