How to merge dynamic pdf files?

I have two separate dynamic pdf forms that have interactive fields. How can I merge them into one file and maintain it's edit-ability?

Hi, Steve.
I have a similar situation. I would like to combine static PDF documents with some forms created using LiveCycle Designer. I read your previous post and I am aware that I can combine them using Acrobat Pro.
My question concerns accessibility.
If I combine a static PDF document and a dynamic form created with LiveCycle, would the resulting PDF still be accessible enough for JAWS to read it properly?
Any help appreciated.

Hi, How to Merge 1 PDF file to 50 PDF together not one by one. Using Acrobat 9 Windows xp.

Depending on just what you are trying to do, you can also use DOCUMENT>Insert Pages to add multiple documents or simply drag and drop the documents into the current document (OK, I have not tried this one).

I posted a link in this thread to a lib that lets you create PDFs from an app. They have a Java version. I have not used it but I know someone who used it with Microsoft ASP and they liked it.

How to merge the pdf files into single pdf?

I need to merge the two (or) three pdf files into a single pdf via scripting. I used the below code for inserting(merging) the pages.
this.insertPages({cPath: "Test.pdf"})
But its merginging(inserting) successfully. But the links not working after inserting. kindly advise me the solution or any other ways.
I am using Acrobat 8.0.
Thanks in advance..

http://gotofritz.net/blog/howto/joining-pdf-files-in-os-x-from-the-command-line/   <- this works but it strips OPI
Here's what I did: (This is shell script)
#!/bin/bash
FROM="./"
DESTINATION="./unCombined/"
for i in $(ls *_F_ga.pdf)
          do
          BACK=`echo "$i" | sed "s/_F_/_B_/g"`
          if [ -f $BACK ] ; then
                    open "$i"
                    osascript selectMenuItem.scpt
                    sleep 3
                    mv -f "$FROM/$i" $DESTINATION
                    mv -f "$FROM/$BACK" $DESTINATION
          fi
done
This calls an applescript
tell application "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "Acrobat"
                    click menu item "combine Front and Back" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
          end tell
end tell
Which activates a menu item (made with Java and saved into Macintosh\ HD/Users/*user*/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/JavaScripts)
app.addMenuItem({
    cName: "combineFB",
    cUser: "combine Front and Back",
    cParent: "File",
    cExec: "combineFrontAndBack()",
    nPos: 0
Which activates this script (again saved into Macintosh\ HD/Users/*user*/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/JavaScripts)
combineFrontAndBack = app.trustedFunction(
function(){
// get the file name and extension
var sFullFileName = this.documentFileName
// make into an arry
var aFullFileName = sFullFileName.split('_F_');
// build a file name array dropping the extension
var aFileName = new Array(aFullFileName.length - 2);
for (i = 0; i < aFullFileName.length - 1; i++) {
aFileName[i] = aFullFileName[i];
// recreate file name
var sFileName = aFileName.join('.');
var back = sFileName + "_B_ga.pdf";
app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privilege
//add back page based on front page name
this.insertPages ({
                    nPage: 0,
                    cPath: "/Macintosh HD/Users/jfox/test/" + back,
                    nStart: 0
this.saveAs("/Macintosh HD/Users/jfox/test/" + sFileName + "_ga.pdf");
this.closeDoc(true);
app.endPriv();
return true;
It's convoluted and comparitively slow, but it works.
EDIT: I just realized you probably meant document links and not OPI links. Ha ha. I have no Idea what this would do to document links.

Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
Thanks

If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview. Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar. Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
Cheers

How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

I use PrimoPDF (free download) to create pdf files. To merge two docs/pdfs/etc., print the first to a new pdf using Primo. Close it, then print the second and save it to the same new pdf. Primo gives you the option to 'append' or 'overwrite' the original file. By using 'append', you are just adding it to the back of the existing file. You can do this repeatedly to resort or combine existing pages into a new pdf.
Also, I'm using Adobe Reader X.

Make it a business case that the files should be stored in specific location(s).
Oracle uses directory objects to point to locations on the file system and, whilst these locations can be altered, it is better practice to set up specific locations and grant permission to the correct users for those locations so that there is full control over who is accessing what on the server. Whilst filenames may be dynamic, I wouldn't recommend using dynamic locations.

How to update bookmarks when merging two PDF files?

We have a company catalog that gets generated once a night. It's three step process:
     Step 1) A raw XML file gets generated from our main ERP software (Microsoft Dynamics).
     Step 2) Then that raw XML file is ran against a stylesheet with XEP to produce a nice professional looking catalog.
     Step 3) And the third step is a script that merges the front and back covers with the main catalog produced in step 2. Each cover is two pages (front and back).
My problem is when step 3 runs it produces a final catalog but all the bookmarks are off by 2 pages because the front cover adds two pages in the very beginning. This post may be premature because up until now I've been merging the PDF pages with a program called "GhostScript" and it allows me to merge them via line command. I'm just now trying out AcroExch.App COM Object for VBScript so I'll see if it works but wanted to fire this out for help to see if anyone has encountered this or can confirm if Adobe automatically updates them for you? When I "Merge" the PDF files through Acrobat Pro they get updated automatically, so hopefully it will work the same way with AcroExch.App Object.   Thanks guy!

I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm saying... we are not performing tasks for non-licensed individuals. We purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard so we could create a PDF of our catalog. That catalog we then put on our website and let people download it. Since our products change all the time, we generate a new catalog every night. The term "server" is just a place where a script runs, I could have it run on my desktop computer if that's really an issue but I think we're talking semantics. Acrobat is not what produces the main catalog PDF, that is done through XEP when it runs through the raw XML produced by our ERP software every night. The only thing we want Acrobat to do is an automated process to merge 3 PDF files together: Front Cover, Main Catalog and Back Cover. That's it.   Are you saying that is against the EULA of Adobe for us to do that?
Now for the bookmark problem, what do you recommend I do then? When I merge all three of those PDF files in Acrobat Standard manually it works perfect. All I'm trying to do is automate that process once every night. I know how to automate with Acrobat, I just can't figure out how to fix the bookmark problem?

Merge Many PDF files in several PDF Files

Hi,
I have about 500 PDF Files :
PDF_A1
PDF_A2
PDF_B1
PDF_B2
EtC.
I want to Merge all my 500 PDF Files in 250 PDF files. I want to merge A1 with A2. B1 with B2 etc. Any idea to how to do ?
Thank you

Hi Dave,
First, the issue does not exist anymore. We have decided to merge all documents in the same file. that's done and OK
Then, Any way, I have found a solution:
Use a script to put in different folders all files which must be together. I mean Folder A will contain files A1 and A2. Folder B will contain files B1 and B2 ...
Then use a PDF software in command line to merge all PDF files folder by folder.
Thnak you for your reply.

Insert PDF into new Adobe Form - merging two PDF files into one

Hi everyone,
I need to enable access to archive PDF files but within a new PDF file containing header and footer.
Request is not to change archived PDF files at all.
I use Web Dynpro application to upload PDF file and to display new PDF file.
I thought converting archive PDF files into JPG files and than using an 'Image Field' object to display those in a new PDF file.
I am dealing here with PDF version 1.3 files.
I am also having trouble converting these PDF files into JPG files. Any sugestions one this problem?
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to deal with this concerning the fact that archive PDF files can not be changed?
Is there some other way to merge two PDF files into one using Adobe Designer?
Regards,
Amel
