>From experience with other applications printing to pdfs, the answer seems
to be no. Each print job is placed into a seperate pdf file.
Third party software such as FinePrint pdfFactory allow multiple print jobs
to be collated into one pdf file. If anyone knows of an easier way round
this, I'd be interested.

Subject: RE: MI-L mapbasic - adobe distiller printing
I have been following this topic with interest as it's something I need to
do as well. One extra question - Does anyone know if you can add extra
pages
to an existing pdf? So that every time a loop in MB is finished and a
layout
is created the new layout is printed to the existing pdf file?
Thanks,
Jim
