Vienna, Austria - Dare to be Creative today announced the release of iCombiner 1.2, a file merge utility for Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard.

 

iCombiner is a utility application that merges documents, images, scanned files and photos using a graphical drag and drop interface. It handles popular file formats including PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG and PostScript.

To improve productivity, the new version lets users merge documents by dragging them from Finder onto iCombiner's dock icon. By default iCombiner merges the dragged files into a single document automatically inside the folder of the dragged files.

For further increased productivity and efficiency, iCombiner now supports merging documents directly from Finder. Designed for power users, this features extends the Mac OS built-in contextual menu with an action item to merge the selected files in a single click.

 

Improved help system:
