If you’ve ever created a Word document on the Mac that includes section breaks, you’ve likely experienced the separate PDF file or blank page issues.  It’s likely a problem with Microsoft Word’s print manager but it cannot handle page breaks and either inserts a blank page or executes multiple print jobs.

If you are like me, you convert docs to PDF before distribution, and this is a real pain.  I had considered purchasing a full version of Acrobat, but found this tool:

The CombinePDF program allows you to select a PDF document and it will break it apart, page-by-page in a list of pages.  You can choose a page, preview it, and omit it if you like.  This solved my problem but it is also useful if you want to combine PDF files into a single document.

The instructions are minimal but what I found easiest was to download the latest .dmg to my Desktop.  I double-clicked it to mount the volume and then within the folder I dragged the CombinePDF application (with cube-type icon) into my Applications folder.  Locate the program and launch it and the rest will be self explainatory - it’s a lifesaver and makes your docs look more professional without having to explain that extra page!

Paris & Nikki wait for Jamie as she comes upstairs with a warm basket of clothes from the laundry.  Before she can get to the top step, Paris jumps in the basket and she dumps them out on the sofa before folding.  If Nikki is already on the sofa, you can see below why a lot of my clothes have cat hair.
