She would like to combine some of them into single files. Any recomendations for applications to do this? Thanks Mike __________________ Mike Jaunty 9.04

I haven't used it, there is a blog entry regarding it, with youtube vid even, but guess I haven't posted here enough to include a URL. I should fix that, huh? Anyhow if you google PDF-Shuffler, you'll find it. Looks pretty intuitive. To find the blog post I read, google bigbrovar PDF Shuffler Let me know how it works. James
