Leopard and Snow Leopard have the ability to edit pdf files, move pages around, and even merge pdf documents together. In OS X combining pdf documents is now easy and you don’t need a third party program to do it! Here is how to join two or more pdf files together into one.

1. Open the first pdf file in Preview.

2. Now select ‘Sidebar’ from the ‘View’ menu – this will make a thumbnail sidebar appear.

3. You can now drag the second pdf file into this sidebar window, and it will be added to your pdf document as an additional page.

NOTE: In Snow Leopard you need to drag the new pdf ON TOP OF the existing pdf’s thumbnails ( a little red box shows you that you are doing this).

This signals that you want to add it to the document. You can then move it to where you like.

If you drag it into the sidebar but not on top of an existing page it will appear as a red line instead of a box and the file will be added as a link, but not merged within the pdf document.

You can now save it!

The trick is that there are two programs that you need to install – the scanner program and the driver. You need to install the canon toolbox which is the general canon scanning program called “CanoScan Toolbox Ver. 4.9.3.4X (Mac OS X)”  but you also need to install the ‘driver’ for your particular printer (for my printer it was called “LiDE 60 Scanner Driver Ver. 11.1.3.0X (Mac OS X)”. There’s no where I could see on the canon page that tells you you need to download BOTH these files.
I found both these by going to the canon page here, and typing in  ‘LIDE 60′ Then I got a list of options, and I chose the link under my printer ‘CanoScan LiDE 60′ which took me here. I clicked drivers and downloads which took me here. Both the files were there in the list. Install the toolbox first, then the driver, then you’ll need to restart.
