MergeFiles Alternative

   Hi,

I posted a topic under General Discussion, entitled "MergeFiles Problems," in which I outlined some problems that QuickPDF seems to have with merging files.  Due to the fact that I have a problem with the PDF dictionary being corrupted and to improve performance, I am looking for an alternative to MergeFiles.

The PDFs can be hundreds or even thousands of pages and hundreds of MB's.  Therefore, I would like to use DA methods so that I don't have to load the entire file into memory.  Also, I would prefer to not create a new file, because this process is done over the network, and with hundreds of files at a time.

If I use DANewPage, is there a way to capture the pages from another PDF, and draw them on new pages?  If I use DARenderPageToStream, can I draw that page on the blank page in the other PDF?

After that, I can use DAMovePage to move the invoice to the beginning of the file.

Thanks,

David
