Hi group,
I recently had an enhancement from my IT team and now my applicationcreates template to PDF files rather than printing them (doing my bitfor environment). I have a '2 page' template and is getting created in 2 seperate files(page 1.pdf and page2.pdf). Wondering is there any way to automate the Adobe PDF printer processto create single PDF file without changing the code.

Thanks in advance for your help

There are some issues to consider. The forms can [b]not[/b] be created as LiveCycle Designer or XML forms. If any of the form fields have the same named forms the same named fields need to have the exact same data.

If both these conditions are meet, then one can insert one of the PDFs into the other.

Another approach would be to insert the 2 blank forms and import the exported FDF file of the 2 individual forms.

Of course your IT team could create an FDF file with all the data for the 2 PDF forms and you could then import that FDF file into the first, second or combined PDF and the fields of the form would populate.

Thanks for the reply.

We are not working with the forms. the 'Map 3D' Application is printing a plain PDF file.

Cheers
