Just open up the sidebar in each open PDF file. Hold shift and select click each page's thumbnail in the 2nd PDF and drag it onto the thumbnails of the 1st PDF. Continue with each additional open file and in the end, the 1st PDF should contain all of the pages. If you have trouble with the first file window saying that it contains more than one document (not pages), then make sure that you drag the bottom documents in the sidebar directly on top of the first document. You should be able to expand the collapsible triangle and make sure that each page is associated with the first document in the window and are not showing up as a separate document with it's own triangle. Hope this makes sense. You can also use Preview to combine into one PDF. Just open up the sidebar in each open PDF file.

Great to know. A couple weeks ago I ran across another link you might be interested in about the Image Capture scanning enhancements within Snow Leopard: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/12/using-snow-leopards-image-capture-app-or-how-to-clean-up-a-roo/ Looked really nice for its ability to detect separate items.
