I've been looking for something like this for months. Not only is it  
cross-platform but it doesn't break links within the documents. I've  
just tried it out on my Mac, one of my servers, and a Windows box and  
it works nicely on all 3. I've been using 'convert' on linux,  
CombinePDFs (also very good) on my mac, and all sorts of rubbish on  
Windows.

Finding things like this is why this mailing list is worth it's  
weight in gold and more than makes up for the tedious rants which  
follow a lot of [VACANCY] posts :-)

Thanks guys.

Regards,

Paul
