Merge PDFs for free

This is something I recently had to deal with, and I didn't want to spend money doing it. I had a bunch of single page PDFs which should have been a single document.  If you google "merge PDFs" you'll see all types of packages for $20-50 programs that can do it for you.
But wait, first off if you have a Mac (newer than OSX 10.4) there's a little-known function in preview that allows you to merge PDFs without any additional software.
Simply open the sidebar, drag in the other PDFs, put them in order and save in combination.

For PCs, it can depend a lot of your software.
If you have nothing on your machine that can do it, check out some of the free merge options. 
One that I found had a limit of 15MB, so, you might be able to merge 2-4 pages of files depending on file sizes.
