Adobe Acrobat alternative?

[douglas]

I'm need the ability to convert several pdf files into 1 single file. That's it. Acrobat for Mac costs $449, which seems a little rich for my needs. Is there a less expensive alternative (free would be good)? Thanks, Dave

Preview will do it.

I think that Preview should be the best.

While Preview should work, Skim is also another alternative that would work.

Preview, and perhaps you may need automator?

Preview will do it.

I have numerous pdf Word files (each a different architectural specification), that I would like to be able to save as a single file/folder for ease of sending via email. I can't figure out how to do this with Preview. Any tips? Thanks.

Open the first pdf ... make sure the sidebar is showing, then just drag the other pdfs into the sidebar. Arrange in the order you want, then save.

So simple, but that's a huge help. Many thanks.
