Combine pdfs mountain lion

how do you combine pdfs into one in mountain lion.. the old method of dragging one on top another in preview doesnt seem to work anymore

I just tried again. Works for me. Just to recap: Mountain Lion (10.8), Preview 6.0(765), and here is the sequence of screenshots that show the process:
1. two files open on two Preview windows, thumbnails visible
2. Drag one of the thumbnails ON TOP of other thumbnail:
(it's a bit hard to see on screen shot, but if look carefully you can distinguish the "ghost" of the thumbnail on the right on top of the other thumbnail on the left.)
3. Voilá: 1 document, 2 pages.
I saved it, checked it, and it is indeed 1 document, 2 pages. Can't imagine why it wouldn't work in your case (again, if they are unprotected, and pdfs not pngs or other.)

Combine PDFs using Preview in Mountain Lion (other threads read)

I have reviewed several threads about combining PDFs in Mountain Lion. I will ultimately learn Automator but for now, I have a relatively simple question:
1) I open multiple PDFs in Preview, one window per PDF
2) I drag thumbnail pages from documents 2 through n onto document 1 so that it makes one long document. ie. one unbroken string of pages and not sections within a PDF
Question: How do I save this combined document without deleting or affecting the first document?
Duplicate causes one of the uncombined documents to pop up with the filename highlighted. I don't see how to give the combined document a new filename for saning
Rename gives me a file of the three combined documents but the first document disappears
Save overwrites the first document with the combined document
I must be missing something simple. I recognize that the lack of "Save As" is a sensitive issue but ultimately, that's what I want to do: Save the combined document with its own filename and have the individual documents intact.

ncasey88 and Old Toad:
Thank you for your quick responses. Unfortunately, with both methods, the first PDF gets updated.
e.g. Files are 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, each is one page long, and I open each in its own Preview window. I drop thumbnails of 2.pdf and 3.pdf onto the thumbnail area of 1.pdf. I export or print into a file called 123.pdf
Result: 1.pdf and 123.pdf have the same information (all three files). 2.pdf and 3.pdf are unchanged but 1.pdf is three pages long.

PDF exported from Pages (mountain lion) results in jagged font not smooth

I am using Mac air mid-2012 + Mountain Lion (OS X 10.9.4) + Pages (5.2)
I used Arial - Regular - font 12 pt to write a resume. After I export to PDF the font on pdf looks anti-aliased, jagged not smooth on 100% scale. The font in Pages is ok.
I export the same file to *.doc and opened it with OpenOffice and export to PDF using OpenOffice, the font looks no problem.
I have the option "Use LCD font smoothing when available" option checked in system preferences.
Does anyone have the same issue?

This is a known issue in Pages 5's tables. Pages 5 has been out for 9 months now and there is no sign of Apple fixing the issue.
Use Pages '09 if you have it.

Mountain lion upload pdf

I can't upload pdf's after I installed mountain lion. It really messed me up. All three of my macs. I have to upload into the court system daily. Help!!!

All pdf's are a lighter shade so I can't click on them to upload into www.ecf.cacb.uscourts.gov. It worked before the mountain lion upgrade. Previously it didn't work on google chrome before the upgrade either. I tried the privacy settings... and have been searching all day on the internet for an answer

Problems reading PDF files with i Pad and Mac with 10.8.3 Mountain Lion OS

I assume InDesign uses the Acrobat XI resources to generate the exported PDFs.
I have many 1-7 page articles from which I created PDFs via the export function in ID. They all read OK on PC/Apple/Linux based computers.
I assembled all of the articles into one 50 page document in ID and again exported the large file as a PDF.
Several of the articles inside the large document now exhibit problems when viewed on an i Pad or a Mac running OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). PC and Linux do not have this problem.
The problems are, to quote my subscriber: "each paragraph starts with a 'dollar' sign instead of 'Th'. Later the 'Dollar' symbol changes to ' " '. The same thing happens in the Piston Ring article. This doesn't happen on the original PDF files.
Opening the files in Acrobat Pro XI to look for differences does not discover anything although I assume the problem is somewhere in the font files.
Any suggestions?

I've asked the question about the versions and producers of the PDF reader software he is using. I'll be back when that answer comes in.
I was afraid that Adobe might not use code identical to Acrobat Pro XI to generate PDFs in InDesign. I may have to 'print' to Acrobat and see if that generates a trouble-free PDF.

My OS X Mountain Lion PDF wont open - invaild code - Please help

I bought this MacBook Pro on june 21. Its brand new, so yes I qualify for the free Mountain Lion upgrade. I finally got my 2 emails and I seriously have no idea what to do. The instructions make no sense at all. I open the PDF and enter my code I was given via Email and its too long / doesnt fit in the Protected Password PDF. I click enter, doesnt work, I enter parts of it, and it doesnt work. no matter what it doesnt work. I tried entering the code on the Reedem section of the Mac App store, still does NOT work. What am I doing worng? I called the Apple store and they said I was entering the code in worng. I am NOT entering it in wrong, I copy paste it and it just doesnt work. I entered it multiple times with the - and without it and it just wont work! Someone please help! I was promised a FREE mountain lion upgrade and I really want it for the Airplay feature!
I can provide my Claim number / password if needed.

Since these forums are user to user only, you will have to deal with Apple on this; I'd suggest emailing their MAS support and telling them that you've gotten an incorrect code (copy/paste it in the email). Ask them for a new one or instructions on what to do with it.
Just an added thought: when you launch MAS (from your dock, Launchpad, or Applications folder), on the home / front page, do you see a "Redeem" link under Quick Links on the right side of the page? When you click on that, you should get a second window with a "enter your gift card or download code" section? Or is that the place where you've already tried it?

How can I print a PDF document in OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion?

I just upgraded to OSX 10.6.3 and now 10.8 Mountain Lion. I am extremely disappointed that I can no longer print (to my printer) ANY PDF documents either through Adobe or straight from a website. Is there a way to deactivate the security feature that is blocking this? I also own the newest version of Parallels (desktop 7) and cannot print through Windows either. It's beyond annoying. Thank you!
Matt

I can print (such as e-mails, driving directions, etc), but nothing that is related to Adobe or PDF. I have a Dell 1710 printer that is connected to my airport extreme wirelessly. The printer has always worked on my I-mac since I bought it in 2007. It stopped printing PDFs ont he Mac when Adobe was upgraded about a year ago. I was then able to print through Adobe in Parallels/Windows. Since the new OSX 10.6 and 10.8 came out, nothing prints through Adobe in either place. I hope that helps.

Opening PDF in CS6 - Mountain Lion

Hi all,
I am running CS6 on my MAC Pro OS Mountain Lion. When trying to open a multi page PDF in illustrator I often do not get the page selection pop up and it automatically opens the first page of the PDF in illustrator. It is very hit and miss which PDF's will offer me the option to select the page to open and which will not, as some work just fine but equally some will only open the first page.
Is anybod else finding this an issue?
Thanks

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

Problem Mountain lion, Pages PDF and Quartz filters

Hello,
With some PDF file created with Pages (iWork 4.2) in Moutain Lion, Quartz Filter don't work.
Example :
- Create a new doc with template "Personnal News" ("Nouvelles Personnelles in french) in "Newsletter"
- Print dialog, "PDF" button "Open PDF with Preview"
- In Preview, export in PDF with filter "Gray Tone"
--> Problem : The PDF created is not in "Gray tone" but in color
--> Same problems with others Quartz Filter, they do anything
- With template "School" ("Lycée" in French) --> Final PDF is a mix of color and gray tone !
- With template "Extrems Sports" (Sports Extremes in french) --> No problem, quartz filters works
If i create the PDF with page export and use "Preview" (or Color Sync utility"), Do a PDF export with a Quartz filters.
--> same problem
No problem with same manipulations before Mountain Lion (in Lion, ...). I think it's a Moutain Lion bug but it's very strange!
Has anyone noted this bug?
Is anyone know a solution to this pb?
Thanks
Note :
- I have the problem with a simple update of Lion in Moutain Lion and after a clean install of Moutain Lion.
- I have a boot disk with 10.5 Leopard and if i open the pdf file with Preview, the PDF file exported with quartz filter is ok.

I think it's a Moutain Lion bug, i hope it will be fixed in the next update of Moutain Lion...
But, i have found a workaround for this issue.
With a PDF file with this problem :
- Open the PDF with "Preview"
- Print, button "PDF", "Save to PostScript Format"
- Open the PS file with "Preview" --> Conversion to format PDF
- Save the PDF file
- Reopen this PDF file with Preview
--> Export can be do with Quartz filter (sometime with filter "Gray Tone", Preview crach, but with filter "Reduce File size", no problem
--> If a use "PDF Clerk Pro" to export this PDF with quartz filter, all filters work.

How do I add a hyperlink into a pdf document in OS X Mountain Lion?

It appears that Mountain Lion does not allow you to add links to pdfs docs in preivew. Does anyone know a work around?
Why would Apple remove this festure?
Thanks,
S.

1. I deleted the HP folder in the printer folder in the library and the orgcups.plist and anything HP related in the preferences folder. Restarted and I checked the app store for updates..nothing.
2.Added my printer via print and scan in system preferences restarted checked the app store..nothing.
3.So out of sheer aggravation I went back to # 1 and checked the app store and wouldn't you know the newest update was there.
I learned a little trick for both the app and itunes store, hit command and r at the same time, it's almost like a reset. I'm sick of downloading updates from the apple website so am trying to be patient but this one came faily quick as for how I got the update from #3, no idea, I don't ask or research, just happy I got it. Good luck and lmk if you need help.
