Recommend an alternative to Adobe Acrobat

[DeeKnow]

I spend a lot of time at work gathering information (mostly from the web, but also Word documents, and scans of printed images)... my preferred method has been to print (or scan) eveything to .pdf, and then use Adobe Acrobat to stitch them up in a meaningful order, then maybe highlight or annotate some pages...

now, isn't there a way that when i print to pdf, i can append directly into an existing pdf file? I could save hours if i could do that?

Am i missing a feature in the Acrobat print driver? or is there a better alternative out there??

I know there is a way to add pages from one PDF file to another... now whether you can do it directly from the printing driver, I do not know.

Bump for a resolution though!

add pages from one pdf to another is what i normally do, and what i am hoping to avoid...!

I know of no way to append PDF's directly from the printer menu, but with newer versions of Acrobat (7 for sure and 6 too if I recall), you can just highlight files in explorer, right click, and say make PDF. This is a lot faster than having to manually insert the pages from inside Acrobat.

To be honest, if there is a solution to this out there, I could use this at work too!
