Question
Hi Amy!

I have Illustarator CS and I've been asked to take four Illustration
files in .eps and saved them all into one .pdf.

Is this possible?

Thank you so much for answering my email. I rrreally appreciate it.

Answer
Hi Shawn,

As far as I know, you still need Adobe Acrobat w/Distiller and Adobe PDF to be able to print multiple page PDF documents from Illustrator CS. Adobe did not add multiple page PDF export function until CS2.

If you don't have the full version of Acrobat w/Distiller...

There are a few shareware utilities out there that allow you to MERGE existing PDF files.  So you could create four PDF files, download one of these "free to try" programs and see what it can do for you.

I used to use one called PDF995 which had great power, albeit a confusing and somewhat buggy interface. But you might be on a Mac so you'll have to look around on some Shareware Sites and see for yourself what's available now.

Good luck with that,

Amy Pace
