Add application to right click context menu on Mac OS X

Add application to right click context menu on Mac OS X I have a small app that combines selected Finder items into a single PDF. I most often use this to merge multi page PDF's into a single file.

"Are you referring to the ""Open With"" sub menu?

If so, the contents are controlled by LaunchServices and you may need to rebuild your Launch Services database or you could state that you can handle .pdf files with a UTI in your Info.plist.

To rebuild the Launch Services Database:
Using 10.4:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user /

Using 10.5/10.6 the location changed to CoreServices.framework:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user /

Adding the UTI information is something best asked at Stack Overflow however."
