10.4: Use Automator to combine PDFs
Authored by: drewk on Jun 16, ‘05 11:52:46AMInsert the Automator action “Finder / Sort Finder Items” and select the criteria to sort on. You can sort by name, time, keyword, label, etc.

So you workflow would be:

Finder / Get Selected Finder Items

[Inserted Step] Finder / Sort Items (Set the ‘By’ and ascending/descending appropriate to your files to combine)

PDF: Combine PDF Pages (Option: Append)

Finder / Open Finder Items

This assumes that some form of sorting of your files delivers what you want your final PDF order to be. If not — check into the Automator Finder Rename route.
