10.4: Combine PDFs without using Automator
Authored by: Welles Goodrich on Apr 02, '06 09:34:08AM

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.
