I have container field that contain pdf file.

is it possible to append new pages to that pdf?

Yes, use the Append to PDF command. You'll need to export the existing container first, then specify that path when you append.

I have a followup question to this technique. I am saving a layout that represents a fax cover page as a pdf. I then want to export a container field that represents attachments that will be added to that fax pdf. In the Save Records as PDF command it does not give the option to use a source field to appending to an existing PDF. As far as I know you have to export a container field before you have access to the file within. Is it possible to specify an exported container field to appending to an existing PDF?

Append to PDF allows you to add pages created in FM to an existing PDF. It does not allow you to merge two or more existing PDFs.

You do not have access to the content of any existing PDF from within FM.

So, the answer is ScriptMaster and iText. These tools will let you merge existing PDFs.
