Merging/concatenating PDFs under OS X

  • Open one PDF
  • Open the Sidebar
  • Drag the other PDF pages to the sidebar
  • In the sidebar drag the other PDFs on top of the first PDF.  Nothing will appear to happen, but if you then save the first file, it will show all the drag and dropped pages.

Simplicity or what!

Alfred: A Quicksilver replacement?

Alfred is a new app launcher (and as with the best of those apps it is much more) for OS X. It’s currently in beta, that you can sign up for at their website.

Ever since Raj pointed me to Quicksilver it’s become a pretty essential tool on any Mac I use. However, development has dropped off over the past few years and whereas it still works perfectly now if there’s any major OS update it could be that it breaks. Scary! It’s to Albert’s credit that after a week of using it it’s slipped straight into my workflow without hardly any interruption or even being noticed!

Nice!

What’s also cool, although location only relevant for property programmes, is that the guys are local (to me in Cambridge that is!).
