For JOE and others struggling with DIFFERENTLY SIZED pdfs/images needing to be merged……

Use the instructions above to merge/rearrange the files….. then go to PRINT and in the page set up select the correct orientation for your files and select “scale each page to fit paper”…. this will make everything letter size (or whatever paper you have…..

This worked for me to mix a word doc title page, with other random sized photoshop files…..

only works for reducing big files though… haven’t worked out how to increase sizes if necessary….

The ability to merge PDF Files built in. It’s good to own a MAC!!

It sure is!
It also comes in handy to convert between formats. You can open a PDF and then save it as a JPEG or vice versa!

Thanks for this tip. You explained it in a very clear way and it worked on the first attempt.

What this really points out, though, is that Preview is a very capable little program that doesn’t get enough credit or use from a huge number of mac users. I’d love to hear more tips for using it.

Awesome tip – thanks! I used to use PDFLab to do this but now it crashes every time I try. Don’t need it any more!

I have the same problem as Anon. The pdf page I insert is a different “size.” I have to zoom onto the other pdf pages. Any thoughts?

Thank you! This saved me so much time! I learned that I have to be in “thumbnails” view and not “table of contents”.
