Did you try the (dirty) way I proposed in my previous mail? Over here it works fine. I just "cat"ted 28 .pdf files into one 7.1mb chunk. Pictures et all copied fine giving me a 298 page file. Takes longer too load than to make thoug:o( BTW the (big) intermediate .ps file wasn't loadable strangely enough, the .pdf is. -- Good luck, HarM Mandrake HowTo's & More:-) http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
