PDF Help

Hello
I am doing a project of setting up a website for our sports club. I have scanned some of club's megazines that were created in 1980s.

All the scanned pages are in PDF format.
The help I need is to put them in a single document. At the moment there are saved in as page 1,2,3 etc in numerous files.

Can someone please tell me how to do this.

Thanks very much

I haven't tried it but the pdfedit995 part of the free pdf995 suite claims to do it:

You could try PDFCreator. Although it's primarily used by people to "print to PDF" from most applications in windows (like Mac OS X can natively), it can be used to merge PDF files together.

I use it as a way to save receipts, etc for things I buy off the internet by printing them for archiving. It's freeware (as in cost and freedom) and so legal too. Could solve your problem althought not 100% sure if it works with Vista.

Download link is here http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/. Developers website is here with more details http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator

All the full versions of Acrobat (Standard and Professional) from Adobe allow you to merge various PDFs into a single file. This will be a better approach than reprinting to a single file (as you'll be able to retaining the original resolution settings) but not the cheapest!

The commercial version of the free Cute PDF, i.e. CutePDF Pro also has these features, and it's cheaper.

As f1charlie says PDF995 does this, the exact version of the software that does is PDFEdit995, it's free, but might not be the easiest to use, I've never tried it.

Why not scan to JPG then in Windows Explorer select all JPGs you want in PDF file, right click on first JPG and select Print and then "Print" to a PDF Printer (doPDF, Bullzip PDF Printer, PDFCreator, etc.).

I scanned a 60 page document and created a PDF document last week using this method using Bullzip PDF Printer - www.bullzip.com - it should work with others.

Bullzip also allows you to merge PDF print output to an existing PDF file.
