Omnis on line help Manual 603 Information Only Need correcting

[Michael Monschau]

You are right, there is a lot of noise, and when you have found the PDF file you have to click it to open it and do the search. On the plus side, you can change the order of results, i.e. show local PDF files at the top of your result list.

You can actually use Preview to merge your PDF documents. 
- duplicate a PDF file and make that your master
- open your master and other PDF files you wish to merge.
- select Thumbnails from the view menu for all your files
- select all the thumb nails in one file (you can click a thumbnail and do command-A) and drag them to the bottom of your thumbnails in your master.
- repeat for all others and hit command-S to save.

Regards,
Michael
