Hi!

If you're only using MergeFiles you won't get the complete pagecount.
Try AnalyseFile on the new merged file and directly after this GetAnalyseInfo...
then you'll get the new pagecount.

Cheers, Ingo

Hi

Thanks, that's what I guessed. Will have to look to see how i can re-work the numbering of the unmerged documents.

As an aside, I have been trying to figure out how I can find the total page count for my merged document. This is the code I am using to create my merged document, but in this example, where I only have two files to merge, it returns a PageCount of 1. My code was designed to be re-used for any number of documents, but if this is not the way it should be used, please let me know.

// create list to hold generated filenames...
sFileNameList := TStringList.Create;
// add store it in a list...
sFileNameList.Add('FilePathAndName1');
sFileNameList.Add('FilePathAndName2');
// loop through the list...
for I := 1 to sFileNameList.Count - 1 do
begin
// merge files together...
PDFLibrary.MergeFiles(sFileNameList[0], sFileNameList, sOutputFileName);
end;
// release the memory...
PDFLibrary.Free;
sFileNameList.Free;

Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin!

The numberring is textual stuff and it's fix in the documents.
My idea: Paste the relevant areas with colour white on white background,
take the new pagecount and create your own numberring.

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

I have been asked to write a procedure to merge multiple documents for a summary, so have used the MergeFiles in a loop so that it will work for any number of reports.

One of the issues i have come across first is that each PDF has it's numbering set on creation, i.e. 1 of x is written into the header of the report, so when merging, I get page 1 of 1 and then page 1 of 2 and 2 of 2.

Is there anyway this can be dealt with in the resulting merged PDF, or do I need to go back to the code that creates the indivdual reports and work out the numbering from there?

Any help or advice gratefully received.

Martin
