I did that yesterday...took me all day to create 6 PDFs, each with about 150
pages (depending on size of the FM files). Why do you think I'd posted the
message yesterday about having a lousy day.
They all PDF'd fine. I then opened PDF1 and used the Document -> Insert
command in Acrobat5 to bring each PDF into PDF1, placing it after the last
page of each preceding page number. Aside from taking so long, it worked
OK...
EXCEPT! The TOC, which was in the PDF1 was not able to find the pages in
PDF2-PDF6 (even though a pointy-hand was shown (the specified file xxx does
not exist). Bookmarks were fine.
Besides, I need to do this in one procedure since it takes so long, I'd like
to start it when I leave and have a finished PDF when I come in the morning.
If this is a machine specific setting, I can ask for an upgrade to ram or
disk IF that is the right solution, since this document is not going to go
away.
