Did that. But my music is individual pages. I need them connected. I have to use a word processor to do that. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

It does work, however. Don't know if you have an answer yet, but try this (free) - In finder, select all the pages you want to join - Use command-O to open them all in preview - Use command-A to select ALL the pages (i.e. all the icons in the left column of the Preview panel are selected) - select "Print all pages" in Preview's File menu - when the print menu comes up, select PDF in the options and say where you want the new PDF to be saved I hope this answers your question

Thus, you are able to consolidate the the individual pages into one PDF containing as many of them as you like. No word processor or JPEGs necessary. I've also used PDFPen for similar work when Preview wasn't up to the task (also involved dealing with customizing data and forms). But Preview can certainly do what you're asking. Print to PDF from whatever app you used in the first place (or if it's already a PDF, you're good to go). Then open it up in Preview, open the next one up, copy and paste the page(s) int the first one and you're good to go. -- Plain Bread alone for e-mail, thanks. The rest gets trashed. |
