Hi,

I'm new to JavaScript, I'm a VBA programmer and I'm wondering if it's possible to combine a bunch of PDF files in a directory into one file and save it in another directory. Specific code would be great if someone has it but also good description how It's possible and a good way to learn Javascript would be good too.

Thanks,

Josh

From a VB application you can hook into Acrobat with the IAC interface and do exactly what you want. No JavaScript necessary. I don't know if the IAC works from VBA, but IAC is an ActiveX interface to Acrobat, so it might.

Find the documentation for IAC, Interapplication communication, here:

Click on the "Documentation" tab and scroll down.
