Right on target. I'm making these boards at home,
where I have a free version.

I have a full version at work though, but am not
familiar with the above. Could you just explain it to
me ?

Note that the PCBs are from different projects, and
I/m not sure if EAGLE can open more than one project
at a time.

That's manual labour and my last resort if things
don't work the electronic way ;)

Exactly !

Acrobat should have some way of letting me edit PS/PDF
files.

I thought that there must be a way where I can open up
all my small PS files, and copy-paste them into a A4
sheet.

But perhaps Acrobat does not let me do that or I am
too dumb to figure out how.
