Hello!

I'm wondering if there's any easy way to create a multipage pdf from several 1 page pdfs. I want to set up a quotation program, and I'd have a 1 page submittal pdf sheet for each item. Then I'd like to create a single pdf with all the indiviual sheets based on the items in each Bill of Material.

I've seen this done in other programs, and was hoping I could duplicate it in FileMaker.

Thanks!

Any help would

FM's PDF capability is only to produce a single PDF, and it can't merge multiple files together. There are a number of PDF utilities, ranging from Acrobat to Cute2PDF to 'pdftk' (pdftoolkit) that can do the trick, but automating them is more work.

For example:

pdftk.exe "1.pdf" "2.pdf" "3.pdf" cat output "output.pdf"

The above is a commandline argument for Pdftk

which you can download for free at Link

I don't know FM 7 or 8 well, so please excuse me if I am off base.

Topic 71722 contains a solution that has worked for me.

It was intended to bypass the 10 page limit in layouts, but may work in your case.
