Combine PDF files in Finder?

Can I combine multiple PDF files in Finder or some other program, just as Adobe Acrobat can? I only have Adobe Reader on my Mac but wanted to combine about 40 files into 1 file.

You can do this easily using Preview, just takes a little practice.

Try it, if you have problems or need pointers post back.

This link should help. How to merge pdf files with preview in Leopard

It's written for Leopard, but I tried it under Snow Leopard and the same technique works.

Good luck,

Good link!

Honestly, I was in a hurry and being lazy so I didn't want to type out specific instructions. This saves that effort.

Thanks for the info. I ended up using a free downloaded automator from a link provided to the site you gave.

Here is the automator
Apple - Downloads - Automator Actions - Combine PDFs

I had about 30 PDF files I wanted to combine and the method with Previewer did not work flawlessly when I did it. The automator was simple as long as the files I chose in Finder were listed in descending order.
