Combine PDFs in OS X

If you want to combine multiple PDF files info one you have several choices under OS X. By default OS X provides a python script that is the basis for an Automator action which you can incorporate into an Automator script. You can also use this script manually from the Terminal (Shell) as described on the Mac OS X Hints website.

To make the command line just a tad simpler to remember and use, I've wrappered that into a shell script called

join-pdf

which you can download from the OS X Software section of my downloads page. Just place it somewhere in your

PATH

and make sure it's executable ("

chmod 755 join-pdf

").

Enjoy
