Hey guys,

i need to embed a PDF page of an external PDF document into my current document.

I tried the following steps:

open "the other" document calling .DAOpenFileReadOnly(...) which returned a valid handle (!= 0)
"find" the first (and only) page (.DAFindPage(...)) within the other document which returned a valid handle
capture the page of the other document calling .DACapturePage(...) which returned a valid handle
draw the captured page into my current PDF calling DrawCaptuteredPage(...) which returned 0 as a result.

I somehow have the feeling that ."DrawCapturedPage(...)" can't be used for a page captured with ".DACapturePage(...)" from another document, right?

I try this in order to "embed" a vector graphics file (.eps, can't be embedded/rendered directly, i know) which has been exported as a single paged PDF before. Converting the *.eps into a *.emf file is no way because the *.eps contains/uses embedded separation colors which get lost when being converted into a *.emf file.

Does somebody know any other way to do this?

Hi Martin,

you can't mix DA- and non-DA-functions.

So DACapturePage won't work together with DrawCapturedPage.

DADrawCapturedPage should work for you.
