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!

I use PDFTK Builder to combine many PDFs into one file:

 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 (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.
