I really like the free software PDFLab, but unfortunately, it’s currently incompatible with Snow Leopard. who knew you could do a lot of the simple PDF manipulation in Preview? apparently “ThePixelDoc” on the appleinsider forums.
Workflow 1
1) Open a (one) PDF. Now drag and drop from the finder, more PDFs (one or multiple) on top of the thumbnail of the first open PDF. You should see a black “binder” now on the thumbnail.
2) When you hover over the thumbnail, an Icon or badge with an arrow will appear on the right side. Click it, and now your bound document will show all of its pages with a border around it. Click on a thumbnail and drag to re-order, or delete to remove it… or drag it out of the container to remove it from the binder.
3) Now click the arrow again to close the bound document…. and right click and choose, “Save a Copy to Folder” and assorted other goodies.Workflow 2
1) Use the Open command, and select all of your documents, or drag from the finder all selected on top of the Preview icon in the Dock. They will open as seperate thumbnails. Now drag a selection around 1 or more of the thumbnails, and drag onto the topmost thumbnail. You should see a number in a red circle as well as a plus sign when hovered over the thumbnail.
2) See above for reordering and for saving a copy.*BTW: I’m not sure if this is new or not, but you can add anything to a “bound” PDF that opens in Preview, including tif, jpg, png, psd, an Illustrater document (if saved with pdf compatibilty preview in Illu)
