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) |

You will need to use a combination of splitting and merging.

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... |

Hi,
capturing and drawing works only in one document. So so first a merge is needed, or you get blank pages. In your case is MovePage the best after merging to put pages in wished order. Cheers, Werner |

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... |
