Hi Thom, Here is stuff from the Acrobat Help Manual that talks about combining documents more or less manually. I haven't found any thing that talks about appending one document to a previously existing document except as a web page. I have combined documents manually and it works fine. If you want to do this automatically, I suppose you might try to work from a print file.
Dave Billing >From the manual: ------------------------------------ Moving and copying PDF pages and files Acrobat allows you to move a PDF page or range of pages, or copy a PDF page or range of pages within a document or from one document to another.When you copy a PDF page or pages, the information is left in the original location, as well as being put in the new destination.When you move a PDF page or pages, the original information is removed from the original location and relocated to the new destination. Acrobat also allows you to easily combine PDF files with one another.You can append a file to the beginning or end of another file, or specify the page where you want it located. Combining PDF files Acrobat allows you to combine one or more PDF files with another with the Insert Pages command and specify where the new file is placed in the target document. If you insert more than one document using drag and drop (Windows), all the documents are inserted in the order specified by Windows Explorer. For example, if files are sorted by name, the files will be inserted alphabetically. If the files are sorted by size, they are inserted in ascending or descending order, according to the sort in Windows Explorer. To combine two PDF files: 1 With the target document open, choose Document > Insert Pages. 2 In the Select File to Insert dialog box, select the source document you want to insert into the target document, and click Select. 3 In the Insert Pages dialog box, specify whether you want to insert the document before or after the specified page. 4 Specify whether the document is to be inserted before or after the first page, last page, or enter a page number. 5 Click OK. To combine PDF files by dragging and dropping (Windows): 1 Set up your Windows environment so that Acrobat and Windows Explorer windows are tiled side by side. 2 Select and drag files from Windows Explorer to the document area of an open PDF file. If you selected multiple files, press Ctrl while dragging to insert the files. If you press Ctrl, the files are added automatically without the Insert dialog box appearing. 3 In the Insert Pages dialog box, specify whether you want to insert the document Before or After the specified page. ------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas J Cimicato" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 3:10 AM Subject: Acrobat Distiller 4.0 / NT4.0 /RB6.5++RT03 > > I want to print multiple reports to a single pdf file.
