Direct Access function

In a different post I am trying to troubleshoot an OpenFromFile error when loading a 160+ Mb pdf file.  Aside from the 0 return value that I get, I have no clue what went wrong and have no idea how to even start troubleshooting it. 
So I tried the direct access function DAOpenFile and I was able to get a handle so I am assuming the file opened fine.  If I do that, am I restricted to using functions prefixed by DA only?  I did a MergeFileListFast to generate the big 160+ Mb pdf file and need to get back in to create an outline/bookmarks for the merged files, set the page mode, and lastly encrypt the file.  Am I out of luck if I use the direct access functions?

Thanks.

	Hi! Andrew told it already... If you're missing few functionalities in the DAfunctions try the non-DA-functions but with smaller packages. Later (at the end) you can add these packages to the big one with DAfunctionality. Please keep in mind: Don't mix DA- with non-DA-functions. So if you want to use both you should do it in two runs: Try... non-DA-functionalities... Load... Save... Free... Try... DA-functionalities... Load... Save... Free... And at the end it should be okay... i hope ;-) Cheers, Ingo
