    That depends on the PDF application you're using. We use Acrobat, and add
    additional sheets (and other features, such as security) after the plotting
    process.

  3. You could also publish a multi-page dwf and print it from the Express
    Viewer to PDF [I believe]

  6. If you are already creating the separate PDfs and you are able to save the
    full path names in an array, you can pass that array and the "combined file
    name" to the following sub(This requires you to reference the Adobe Acrobat
    5.0 Type Library.):

    btw, We use Win2PDF printer from daneprairie.com to programmatically create
    the single PDF files. It's easy to name the files through VB code and it is
    only $30.

    Private Sub CombinePDFs(arrPdfFiles() As String, strFileName As String)
    Dim b As Boolean
    Dim AcroPDDoc As CAcroPDDoc
    Dim PDDoc As CAcroPDDoc
    Dim i As Integer

    Set AcroPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Set PDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")

    b = AcroPDDoc.Open(arrPdfFiles(0))
    b = AcroPDDoc.Save(1, strFileName)
    For i = LBound(arrPdfFiles) + 1 To UBound(arrPdfFiles)
    b = PDDoc.Open(arrPdfFiles(i))
    b = AcroPDDoc.InsertPages(0, PDDoc, 0, 1, False)
    b = AcroPDDoc.Save(1, strFileName)
    b = PDDoc.Close
    Next i

    b = AcroPDDoc.Close
    End Sub

    do you mind sharing how you use it, I am trying to figure out a solution
    for our company and they were thinking in buying pushbutton, but it is
    expensive.

  8. Just use dwf - its free, the viewer is free, and it'd take you less than
    a day to write the code for it - win-win and you look good to mgmt!

    I apprecite the input, and I agree with you, but the mgt has taken a
    approach to go PDF as clients have PDF installed on their machines, and
    it is a less of a hassle for them to wor with PDF's. Also the repro
    house we have is setup to receive PDF's as well . so I have to find a
    solution for it.

  10. Cool! But I would still bring it up to your boss. If he isn't spending
    any money and both clients & repro house don't need to spend money, your
    boss can make it happen. Not bringing new inventive ideas to the table
    doesn't take your personal career far.

    for someone who does not have Adobe Acrobat but only the reader.
    How can I write code to join PDF files ?
    Is there any other options ?
