it isn't free, but it is a cheap swiss army knife.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't need to combine the files on the iPad -- I'm creating them on my MacBook, so if there's a free (or cheap) program I can use to combine them there, then transfer the one big file to the iPad, it would probably be easier.

Preview. That is the way I combine PDFs.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, Preview will do it. Just open the first file, open the side bar that shows the pages, and drag the next file on top of the last page of the first one. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Hey. New board.

Preview is actually a pretty darn powerful PDF editor.

Neat. I never really used Preview for anything other than as a viewer -- I guess that, based on the name, I assumed that was all it could do.

FWIW, I use Preview to mod pictures too.

Thank you! It looks like I need to crop my pictures a bit to get them to display right as slides, but I definitely know where I'm going with this now.
