Appending PDF files when saving

B

BarryL

My database generates a series of reports as sequentially numbered pdf files
which I then combine into a single PDF document using a pdf converter. Is
there a switch or command that I can use when saving a pdf from Access that
will simply append the file being saved as a pdf to the pdf file that is
already in the target directory?

AFAIK it can't be done using the MS PDF software. However Lebans
solution does give you this option although IIRC both PDF files have
to exist on the hard drive before they can be combined.

A2000ReportToPDF is an Access 2000 database containing a function to
convert Reports and Snapshot files to PDF documents. No PDF Printer
driver is required.
