PDFLab lets you split and join PDF documents as well as insert images and blank pages. You will also be able to easily create PDF documents out of several images.
Its usage is really simple. You add your files in a list, select the pages you wish to include, order them the way you want and create a new PDF document.
PDFLab 2.0 also ships with tools that let you quickly split a document into many documents, (one document per page or one document for odd pages and one for even pages), encrypt or decrypt a document, add a watermark, interleave several documents.

What's New
Note: I apologize to all the users for the very long delay since the last version and the almost total lack of support I have provided. A new job and new life priorities are responsible for this.
Version 2.0.3r2: fixed a nasty bug which prevented ading files
Version 2.0.3:- First attempt at fixing a bug where the process could not be terminated and the user had to go grab the file manually from the Finder. Please provide some feedback on this if you were a victim of this bug !
- Will now work properly with a Java 1.5 installation (no more blank toolbar).
- Upgraded to iText 1.4.8

(application crashes after trying to import a file)
my Mac is on 10.5.8 , but this tip should work for many OS versions
open /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app
in General tab :
disable J2SE 5.0 Java SE 6 and J2SE 5.0
enable J2SE 1.4.2 32 bits
PDFLab should work
PS :
i did not try every combinaison of Java versions
i have just presumed that the oldest version should work fine

but then i am in the early Jurassic still using 10.4.11 on a powerpc [imac g5]
i use it for 4 neat things
1. removing pages
2. rotating pages - mega useful if there's a landscape diagram in a portrait doc
3. making pdfs work! sometimes [often] keynote's exported pdfs don't work. open 'em in pdflab and save and they're always fine
4. the usual pdflab purposes!
note to snow cat users - you upgraded too early!
1. lots of bugs, especially with older software
2. lots of apps will just die.
tip - wait, assess which apps that you depend on are at risk of the above, and WAIT and watch!
here endeth the lesson
great app!
It is not the first application that quits service under snow leopard in this way. The same happened for instance with visual hub - I got this one to work using some tricks, from case to case.
*it is not even visible when I look at the system's activity using "top" in the terminal.
In the case of visual hub, there seem to be some apple script errors. In the case of PDFLab, I really do not know. what the source could be... maybe someone can help me.

I used it to remove the password from a camera manual so I could add bookmarks (it's unbelievable that in 2009, manufacturers are still producing 150-page PDFs without bookmarks). Select the file in the PDFLab window, press Command-R and a new password-free version is created. Fantastic!

It no longer works with the release of Java shipping by Apple.
It uses depreciated Java calls and simply quits. Checking Console reveals
[Deprecated] CocoaJava: com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSRuntime
[NSJavaVirtualMachine initWithClassPath:] FATAL: cannot initialize ObjCJava. Exit
Exited with exit code: 255

So i updated to 2.0.2 and it chokes when outputing pdf files created in Excel (office 2004) and some other random pdf files.
Error message, "Processing Error: For some unknown reason PDFLab is unable to complete the process. Please hit cancel to close this window and try to retrieve the created PDF file from the Finder."
The app opens up the temp folder and presents me with the "pdfoutput.pdf" file, which has worked everytime. A bit of an inconvenince.
I still rate this a 4.5+ (and also donated to the author).
