    There are a couple of ways to force an app to quit, which can be useful when one is frozen, or it just decided to launch itself and you don't want it to (like iTunes does when you plug an iDevice in):

    • aim for the kill: right clic on the dock icon. If it shows "Quit" instead of "Force Quit", press the Alt key and it should toggle to "Force Quit" 
    • the worm in the Apple: clic on the Apple icon (top left of your screen), select "Force Quit", pick your app and press the "Force Quit" button 
    • the Windows way: press "cmd + alt + esc" keys altogether, and it should prompt the "Force Quit" men

    And as the little green guy would say, "May the Force Quit with you".

    Here's a simple, free, and quick way to combine single images into a unique pdf if you have Mac OSX with Automator (it's a pre-installed app, so you don't have to download any app).

    There's a couple "classic" ways to do it, but most of the time you'll get a poor result if you have images with different sizes.

    To get started, download this workflow:

    Click here to download:
    Images2Pdf.workflow.zip (49 KB)

    Then, here's what you have to do:

    • open the workflow file (it should load Automator automatically) 
    • go where your images are stored, and select those you want to group 
    • go to the Automator window 
    • (optional) change the destination (default is Desktop) and change "PDF NAME" to whatever you want to name your pdf in the "New PDF from Images" box 
    • press "Run" (top right corner) 


    And you're done!
