using acrobat 7.0 pro.,
Is there a way to print separate files, say from Microstation, to the same pdf file? If you are in Microstation, and you use the pdf printer to create a new pdf document, and then go to a separate file, and use the pdf printer, it will overwrite the file.
We would like to be able to append the file.
Is this possible?

Hi --

Yes, you can append the file, but not via a print dialog. Print the content to PDF. Open Acrobat, open the receiving file, and choose the Insert Pages command from the Document menu. Locate and select the newly-generated files, and they are appended to the existing PDF file.

If you upgrade to Acrobat 8 Pro, you can combine files either in a single composite PDF file, or package them as a collection of PDF files.
