I have been using cutepdf for years. But, I could not figure out how to COMBINE several pages, of PDF's for recording. Well, I worked on it all day yesterday, and Bought BULLZIP.PDF, professional, and it did not work.
Finally, I downloaded AdolixSplitMergePDF It works just fine.
These 2 simple programs allow all I need. As you should figure, there is software that allows you to take previous PDF documents, and make them into word documents.
I'd guess that can be done.
Anyway, I wasted a whole day on this, and could and should have just bought Adobe Acrobat.
Anyway, it works, and it is simple.
Take a look at some of my recently recorded plats. When recording PDF's, they are nice and readable. I am a big fan of READABLE plats.

Nate, just bite the bullet and purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro. It will combine files, alloow you to delete pages, and password protect your files. If you digitaly sign a file and someone changes it, you can set it to delete you signature.
I like the color, but does your Recorder produce colored copies?

Nate, I like the color, but does your recorder provide color copies?
I design the plats so that they can go Black and White, but color makes them faster to read.
I have gotten feedback, NOT to use CYAN color, with they scanned them for, and recorded them, as their scanner had trouble reading that color. Since sending pdf's directly, via email, the plats are cleaner, don't require scanning, and are easyier to read.
So, the direct answer, is I don't know the answer to your question, and I also doubt it that I completely understand your question.

I agree with Steve on Acrobat, but Nuance's http://www.amazon.com/Nuance-Communications-Inc-M109A-G00-8-0-Professional/dp/B0084PK8CS&apos ;">PDF Converter will do most everything Acrobat will do - including assembling and extracting documents - for about $100.
Back in the day, before color copiers and printers - light blue pencils were sold for marking up documents. The light blue was invisible to xerox copiers.
Free program that I have been using to batch scan in docs, and will combine PDFs is PDF Fill PDF Tools. It has been working very well (just remember to reduce the margins to 0 so it does not reduce your scanned doc size.)
I use this, quick and simple, and free: PDF-Shuffler
On the Mac, the capability to combine, split and re-arrange PDF files has been part of the PREVIEW program included with OS X 10.5 Leopard and later OS revisions. Thanks Peter for suggesting PDF-Shuffler as it appears to have capabilities in addition to those of PREVIEW.

oops. I was not thinking, that is a Linux program. maybe it is ported to other platforms, I don't know
Any program that i find useful I pay for, and I donate to those that are free but ask for donations if you find them useful.
So buy Adobe if you find it useful. Someone yesterday asked about a replacement for access. If you use access, and truly find it useful, why wouldn't you pay for it? I liked it better when I could BUY MS Office outright rather than pay yearly, but that new plan is reality, so i pay $99/year and get 5 seats. I do spend many thousands of dollars a year on software, maintenance agreements, etc, but not having those tools would be much worse.
Just think think how much harder work and life would be without all of these useful programs and apps.

You might check into PDF Architect 3. It has several different modules that leave you the option to purchase just the ones you need. You can Create, Convert and do other functions with the program.
Spending a whole day fussing around on the internet to find a "free" solution that isn't really a whole solution doesn't make a lot of economic sense. If Nate had spent his time doing even one lowballed survey instead of surfing for "free" he would have made enough cash to buy Acrobat. And once he had Acrobat he would find a lot of uses for it beyond just stitching pdfs together.
You think surveyors will use sommething named Architect??
I bought Adobe Arcobat years ago. It combines PDFs easily and will set up a printer profile so you can print to a PDF file from any program. When I upgraded my computer to Window 7 from XP I got a free upgrade from Adobe because the old version wouldn't work on Windows 7. It's a great program. I think the new version for s for sale online in the $200 range. Best and easiest program I have.
I've used http://www.pdfsam.org/&apos ;">PDF Split & Merge (free, open source) in the past and have found it very useful.
Ladd, my Norton antivirus brings up an alert about this site being a known dangerous website when I try to open it? Is it safe?

Far be it for me to argue with what Norton says is safe. If you're not comfortable with the suggested site, you can also access the PDF Split & Merge installer via the http://www.sourceforge.net&apos ;">SourceForge project site at PDF Split and Merge.

'Norm',
How do you like the newer version of PDF Converter? I'm still using version 7.2 and find some things slow and clumsy. But still, it is better than Acrobat.
