Merge PDF files into (preserving layer info)

Is it possible to combine several PDF files into one and preserve the layers of each source PDF into the merged one ?

... not sure SSIS is the correct tool for you unless you're already using it or have other tasks to perform besides merging pdf files.
There is no functionality like that available out of the box, but if you have the right (third party) .Net assemblies then you could use SSIS (Script Task/Component). An other option is to call a tool/batch file via the execute process task.

  • How to merge pdf files into one pdf file?

    In E-Rec we need the capability to mass printing for correspondance. There i want to merge pdf files for candidates into one pdf file. I am doing the following:
    Data: lv_document1           TYPE rcf_s_cs_document_content.
    LOOP AT activity_object_tab INTO ls_activity_object.
        lo_act_corr ?= ls_activity_object-activity.
         CALL METHOD lo_act_corr->process_document
           EXPORTING
             channel  = 'FRONTEND'
           IMPORTING
             document = lv_document1.
      ENDLOOP.
    Now lv_document1 contains the pdf file in  lv_document1-DOCUMENT_X which is of type RAWSTRING.
    This works for one candidate, in this case the pdf for last candidate will be displayed.
    But how would i append in the loop or what would i need to do display all candidates in one pdf.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Error Message When Merging Multiple PDF Files into One PDF File

    Good Morning,
    I have a problem with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am trying to merge/combine multiple PDF files into one PDF file, but I keep receiving this error message:
    Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you!

    To fix:
    Provide a unique name for each form field. This includes the individual PDFs fields. As you intend to combine/merge no field name in each of the individual PDFs can be the same.
    Be well...

  • Help merging 3d files into one 3d-pdf-scene

    Is it possible with the LCS to merge 3d-files into a single 3d-pdf-scene just like it is in the Adobe 3D Reviewer? I don't have a "Master"-file that defines an assembly like a catia *.CATProduct file so I can't refer supporting documents in the Generator3D. I also tried the assembler-service but with that I was only able to create a PDF that holds all the single 3d-data on different pages and therefore in seperated 3d-scenes.
    thanks

    Hi Timo,
    If you are still interested in this functionality to merge 3D files in batch, please contact me at [email protected] to discuss further.
    Thanks.

  • Merging PDF's into one file Error: "File Skipped"

    I'm trying to merge multiple files into one. However, on some of the pages I get an error code "File skipped". How do I correct this issue so that I can merge all the files successfully?

    This usually means the file has encryption applied (preventing changes), it's been Reader-extended (also preventing changes) or it's an XFA file from LiveCycle Designer. Open the file in question and check the properties.
