[Finale] OT combining PDFs into one file, Mac OSX

I think it's under "File" in the pulldown menu. Followed by "Create pdf" then "Merge files into a single pdf". Usually then it's best to go "Optimize" and "Reduce file size" to get the size manageable. On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 9:04 AM, Christopher Smith < christopher.sm...@videotron.ca> wrote: > Hi

Hi Chris, You aren't currently combining the documents in Preview, you are just viewing multiple documents from the same window. You can't save the result because you're not actually making any changes. Don't just drag new PDF pages into the sidebar, drag them ON TO the thumbnail at the top of
