OK, if by form, you mean acrobat form, then you have to use either Acrobat proper, or the perl module PDF::API2: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use PDF::API2; # 0.3a26 or higher my $cover = PDF::API2->open('coverletter.pdf'); my $body = PDF::API2->open('body.pdf'); my $merged = PDF::API2->new(-file => 'merged.pdf'); foreach my $pdf ($cover,$body) { foreach my $pageno (1..($pdf->pages)) { # 1 (not 0) is 1st page ! $merged->importpage($pdf,$pageno); # insert it at the end } } $merged->save; If you just mean a PDF when printed out becomes a paper form, then you can use other tools, like pdflatex. merge.tex: \documentclass[a4paper]{minimal} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{top=0cm,bottom=0cm,left=0cm,right=0cm,nohead,nofoot} \usepackage{pdfpages} \begin{document} \includepdf[pages={-}]{cover.pdf} \includepdf[pages={-}]{body.pdf} \end{document} # pdflatex merge.tex Many apps (notably word with PDFwriter) produce broken pdfs which can't be used by many tools, but pdflatex is very tolerant, I use it to "clean"/"redistill" pdfs before I use perl tools on them, using the above TeX with only one pdf. cheers Woody > > > -- > Thanks > KenF > OpenOffice.org developer > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ > More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- Woody -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
