Acrobat Woes - MysteryGuest - 03-27-2006
I'm using Acrobat 5 in X. When I occasionally have to assemble a large file from a group of smaller files in Acrobat with the "insert page" command, I'm freaked out by the fact the program doesn't recognized numbered pages in the finder and assembles a group insert every which way! So then I have to import the files a page at a time, which can be tedious with a large group of files.
Is there any workaround, or if I upgrade, is this resolved in higher versions?

Is there a reason you can't use Preview to merge the PDFs?
Put all the files you wish to merge in a folder. Set the folder to list view, view by name, select all and drag to Preview. The files should be merged in the order they are listed in the Finder.

Thanks, johnc, but when I do this, Preview just opens 10 separate PDF files. Could this be a Tiger feature? I'm still on Panther.

Sorry, my bad (it used to work in 10.2, but broke with Panther).
Here are a few alternative solutions, though:
Combine PDFs
joinPDF

Great, thanks, I'll give them a try.
