    Lets say I have 5 images in a folder and wish to make a PDF file with each picture per page. How do I do this in Preview or are there any other ways?

    there may be easy ways... but here is what I do when I want to make multi page PDFs from multiple sources.

    Convert everything you want in the PDF to a PDF... if its just pictures, you can Print to PDF with them.

    In preview, you can open all the PDFs, and use the thumbnails bar on the side to drag and drop pages into single PDFs and save it. if its already multipage, with multiple PDF files showing there, make sure you open the list you want to add PDFs to so it lets you drag and drop them.

    opening them up in a single window doesn't actually combine them... you have to drag and drop them right until you can tell its a single PDF... it'll copy the others into the first. It took me a few tries the first time I tried it to figure out how it worked, because just dragging and dropping the way it opens by default doesn't do anything, you have to actually see it create the copy underneath the first.
