Does anyone know of a way in WebFOCUS (5.XX version) that you could compound an already created PDF in a file directory with one that you are creating in WebFOCUS? I've got this static report that I would like to add to these ones that I will be creating in WebFOCUS but don't think this is possible. Any kind of DOS commands that might work?

I realize this is probably a stretch but worth asking.

How complicated is the static report? We have several forms (logos, graphics, lines & boxes, etc.) in PDF format that got mailed out with insurance quotes and we found that we could recreate those forms almost exactly in WF as part of the actual compound PDF document. Then the concatenation problem went away--


Regards,

Darin

You need to use Adobe Acrobat or the API for something like that. Acrobat does support some Javascript capabilities but I'm pretty sure you'ld have to go an API route. It's possible one of the .NET guys could come up with something if you think it's really needed but you'ld have to run it by them.
