Humph . . . importing documents at images and then knitting them
together . . . be aware that you will lose one the most valuable things
about a PDF document: the embedded text layer.

Rereading, did you want to be able to collect existing pdf documents, read
them, and then output a single new PDF? If so, I guess you can import those
documents as images on successive cards, and do what I posted earlier.
Seems clunky, but then you are asking LC to do something clunky.

Hi.
Sure. Try this in a button on card 1 of a new stack with, say, three cards:
on mouseUp
get the desktop folder
open printing to pdf it & "/" & “yourNamehere" & ".pdf"
repeat with x = 1 to 3
print card x
end repeat
close printing
end mouseUp
And I wonder if the new pdf widget has that built in.

It's been a while since I've posted a question here. Is it possible to use
livecode script to merge multiple 1-page PDFs into a multipage PDF without
using Acrobat or other 3rd party software?
Thanks.
