I can answer this one. Put all the pdfs you wish to combine into one folder, get these files in the order you want them to print in (number them or something). Select them all double click to open in preview. You should see all the pages in descending order in the sidebar.
Click on the second page down, scroll down to the final page and shift click (therefore selecting pages 2 to the end), scroll back up to the top page in the sidebar, now drag all those pages onto the first page (a plus sign with the number of pages you've grabbed come up as you do this). Now, IMPORTANT, go to the <Previous> arrow top left of the toolbar and click it enough times to get yourself back so the first page is in view. Hit save. This helps to open the file again with page one first and keep it all in order. Close the file. Now go back into your folder and you can bin all the pdfs that formed pages 2 to the end, keep just the first one which should now include all the other pages within it, in sequence. Another thing I do is to prepare all the other pages first in their single files (e.g. if they are upside down, need centering, etc,) before Group selection and amalgamation, otherwise some things are more difficult to accomplish when they are all in one file. Hope it works out for you. Cheers, Jonathan > Hi combined MacOSX wisdom, > > I have a whole bunch of single-page files that I want to combine into one > PDF.
