   We're on the case! At the moment the end date is TBA, but it shouldn't be too much longer. I don't want to provide an exact date just yet...

	Hi Karsten! The description/functions about drawing an image on a pdf you can find in the online-documentation at the section "image handling"... "DrawImage" should be your choice. After loading your pdf-document ... First: AddImageFromFile Then: SelectImage At least: DrawImage Supported imagetypes are BMP, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WMF and EMF. So you should convert your eps-file first. Cheers, Ingo Edited by Ingo - 28 Apr 09 at 8:44AM

	here is a vb6 sample for drawing a pdf onto an other Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim IdMain As Long Dim IdIncluded As Long Dim IdCaptured As Long Dim LastPage As Long Dim lRet As Long m_Doc.UnlockKey "mykey" lRet = m_Doc.LoadFromFile(Text1.Text) 'load main file IdMain = m_Doc.GetDocumentID(m_Doc.DocumentCount) 'save it's id LastPage = m_Doc.PageCount 'save nb page in the main doc lRet = m_Doc.LoadFromFile(Text2.Text) 'load pdf to be included IdIncluded = m_Doc.GetDocumentID(m_Doc.DocumentCount) 'save it's id lRet = m_Doc.SelectDocument(IdMain) 'select back main doc m_Doc.MergeDocument IdIncluded 'merge the 2 pdfs IdCaptured = m_Doc.CapturePage(LastPage + 1) 'capture the fist page of the second pdf m_Doc.SelectPage 1 's'lect the page that wil receive the capture m_Doc.SetOrigin 1 'coord origin top left m_Doc.SetMeasurementUnits 1 'use millimeters as unit for coords lRet = m_Doc.DrawCapturedPage(IdCaptured, 10, 10, 150, 150) 'draw the captured page 'clear possible extra pages got from the second pdf If m_Doc.PageCount > LastPage Then m_Doc.DeletePages LastPage + 1, m_Doc.PageCount End If 'finaly save the result lRet = m_Doc.SaveToFile("c:\test.pdf") 'clear doc m_Doc.RemoveDocument IdMain End Sub

	Thx, @DELBEKE Do you have an example to do this? I do this PDFLibrary.SetPageDimensions (31072/25.4,51072/25.4); PDFLibrary.SaveToFile('D:\quickpdf\test\empty.pdf'); PDFLibrary.ClearFileList('mylist'); PDFLibrary.AddToFileList('mylist','D:\quickpdf\test\empty.pdf'); PDFLibrary.AddToFileList('mylist','D:\quickpdf\test\test1.pdf'); PDFLibrary.AddToFileList('mylist','D:\quickpdf\test\test2.pdf'); PDFLibrary.MergeFileList('mylist','D:\quickpdf\test\merge.pdf'); and now I must draw the content of page2 and page 3 to the empty page 1 on position X1,Y1 and X2,Y2 after this I can delete page 2 and page 3 and save again.

	Hi Karsten Ingo say You can merge pdf-documents one after the other, that's right, but you can use CapturePage and DrawCapturedPage for the point 2.

	Hi Karsten! You can't put one pdf over the other! You can merge pdf-documents one after the other ... What you can do is creating a first pdf and then painting images (like your second and third pdf) on special places of the first pdf. You can determine if it shall be transparency or not and a lot more... Cheers, Ingo

	Hi, I'm looking for a solution to do the following steps. 1. I must create an emty single side pdf with special dimensions in millimeters PDFLibrary := TQuickPDF0712.Create; PDFLibrary.SetPageDimensions (31072/25.4,51072/25.4); 2. I must place on this page a second pdf-file on position X1,Y1 3. I must place on this page an eps-file on position X2,Y2 4. Save this PDF-document PDFLibrary.SaveToFile('D:\placed.pdf'); Are the steps 2 and 3 possible with the Quick PDF Library or not? I use imagemagick on this time to do that but the quality is not so good. Karsten Edited by Karsten - 27 Apr 09 at 2:32PM
