There are some very nicely done PDF files around with all info on a project neatly contained in one package, with the added bonus of printing the pcb layout to correct scale too. I can print pcb designs to pdf (Eagle), but how do I combine them with schematic, parts lists and accompanying text into one document - what does everyone use for this purpose?
Thanks!

Cute PDF is what I use. http://www.cutepdf.com/ (http://www.cutepdf.com/)
I use PDFTK Builder to combine many PDFs into one file:

I use Scribus (http://www.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus).
OpenOffice.org (but I'm exporting pictures from Eagle as hires bitmaps, I don't know how to get it as a vector graphic*) T.
EDIT: IrfanView is able to make multipage PDF from a list of pictures too btw.
EDIT2: I already know (http://gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/tools/software/eagle/creating-a-pcb-image-using-export/) (CAM utility => EPS) :) I'll try it next time..
I've used Inkscape to edit/create the sheet with multiple images/info. Then create the pdf printing the image using Bullzip pdf printer. Bullzip also lets you create a multi-paged document. Both freeware.
