If you've ever had the need to quickly and easily merge multiple pdf documents into one, here's a simple way to do it.

Let's say you've got an Excel spread sheet, a Word document and a Powerpoint file, all of which you want to include in the one PDF so you've got it in a nice compact file that you can email, print or whatever it is you do with your PDF's. Well what you need to do it:

Step 1: Grab a free or trial version of a PDF creation utility like pdfFactory. There's a free version available or pick up the basic version for about US$49

Step 2: Open the first document you wish to use in your PDF.

Step 3: Select print and choose the pdfFactory printer driver.

Step 4: The pdfFactory preview panel will open showing you the pages that have been converted to PDF. Leave the preview window open and move onto the next step.

Step 4: Open your second document and repeat step 3. The pages form the second document will be added to the pdfFactory preview panel.

Step 5: I think you get the idea now ... keep going until you've added all your documents.

Step 6: Go to the pdfFactory preview panel and decide what you want to do with your masterpiece; View, Save or Send that beautiful thang.

Shameless plug: pdfFactory is fast, simple and most importantly, cheap!
