It is way better than the Preview app in Leopard because the file size keeps low. Preview somehow makes the final PDF rather big in size.

This functionality is now in Preview, true, but CombinePDFs is much better for working with large documents. I was just trying to read 5 pages of an 1100 page PDF in Preview (and Skim) and my computer was beachballing every time I tried to move from one page to the next etc. Trying to extract the pages from the PDF using Preview led to similar delays. I pulled the PDF into CombinePDFs and extracted the 5 pages practically instantly, with no delays, & now have a much more manageable PDF to read in Preview. If you're only dealing with short PDFs, maybe you can stick with Preview, but if you want to extract book chapters, articles from collections of journals, etc. CombinePDFs is invaluable.

Without this tool I wouldn't be able to use my Mac Mini with my tv.
