From inside of Access can code be written to take 2 different .PDF and merge
them into a single .PDF file which could then be printed?

Thanks!

In order to work with PDF files internally you would need the full version
of Adobe. I don't know if what you are asking is possible but I suspect it
would be. You will get a better answer from the Adobe site and possibly a
code sample.
 
I pretty sure the answer is No..

Microsoft was forced to remove PDF capabilities from Office 2007 by Adobe.
(There is a free download at http://download.microsoft.com that lets you
create PDF files, but I doubt it has as advanced capabilities as you're
wanting)

Take a look at:

http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/

It says:

Merge Two or More PDFs into a New Document
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf

The windows executable:

http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/pdftk-1.41.exe.zip

Note: It's a command line program so putting it in the system32
directory or equivalent is so that the command prompt can find it
without changing the default path it uses to find executable files.

I haven't used it but I've read of many who have. Post back with your
results if you try it.
