Merge Order with MergeDocument

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I need to merge two pdf's and am using the sample code (below). My problem is that sometimes the resultant PDF is sFile1 and then sFile2 and then other times it is sFile2 and then sFile1. What determines the merge order? Is there a better way? TIA.

// Read First Document
FPDF.LoadFromFile( sFile1, '' );
iDoc1 := FPDF.SelectedDocument;

// Read Second Document
FPDF.LoadFromFile( sFile2, '' );
iDoc2 := FPDF.SelectedDocument;

// Merge the two documents.
FPDF.SelectDocument( iDoc1 );
FPDF.MergeDocument( iDoc2 );

// 08-Apr-2014 LMM: -> Save Result
FPDF.SaveToFile( sMergedFile );

	Depending on what your ultimate goal is, you could use MergeFiles to merge the documents. Then you don't even have to open the files and the merge file list always contains the order of the files. Wheeley p.s. Search the forum about merging to find example code.
