I have a large number of PDF files from the Computer Arts magazine discs which contain entire issues of the magazine from the past. Each issue comes in about 40 separate multi-page pdf files, and i'd like to know if there's an easy way to view these on a mac like a book, rather than having to open files repeatedly to find the right pages.

Is there a way?
Thanks!

You can have multiple files open in Preview.

You can view them in slideshow format, dunno if that would help any.
