Interleave pages from 2-3 different files

Hello, all.  I'm relatively new to QuickPDF, but with the documentation, FAQ and Forums, I'm finding it very easy to use.  Very nice.

One thing I can't seem to find a reference on is combining or interleaving pages from multiple source files into a single final file.

i.e., I have three files, 10 pages each.  The final product (pdf) should have pages in the following order:

1, 2, 3 (from File1), 3 (from File2), 3 (from File3), 4 (from File1), 4 (from File2), 4 (from File3)...

I'm not even sure where to begin with this (which functions to look at).  I've looked through "merging files", but these all refer to combining whole files together - not what I need.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!  (using the ActiveX version)

Thanks very much, Andrew.

I will try putting together the splitting/merging process you mention.

I have been trying to accomplish this using the CapturePage and DrawCapturedPage functions.  Paraphrashed, like this:

- Open files to be combined.
- Create new doc.
- Select first file, first page to be combined- capture page.
- Move to new doc and DrawCapturedPage.
- Move to second file, first page to be combined - capture page.
- Move to new doc.
- Insert new page.
- DrawCapturedPage.
- etc....

I end up with the correct # of pages in the new doc (after saving), but they're all blank.

Does this type of process have any merit for what I'm trying to do?  Or is the splitting/merging process the only/best way to do this?

Again, thanks very much for the response...

Thanks very much, Werner.

"capturing and drawing works only in one document" explains why I kept getting blank documents (and getting a little frustrated).

Your suggestion (merging the files together first, then moving them around in place) is something I will have to tinker around with - along with Andrew's Extract-and-Merge concept.

Thanks very much to both of you...  I'll post back when something turns out...
