Hey,

This is a long shot, but is there anyway to use the createPDF function to create one PDF output from multiple pdfs...

I.e. I upload PDF files x and y, and also create PDF Z from HTML using createPDF...

I want to then output one single PDF, of X, Y and Z.

I can do that locally, but want to be able to automate it online...

Any ideas?!

Thanks

Hi Rob,

Not that I know of. You could try embedding the PDFs in an HTML page with <object> or <embed> and calling createPDF on that page, or finding a command line linux app to merge multiple pdfs.

Let me know if you make any progress with this.

I looked into this a while ago, but never went much further.

This may help though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9135109/wkhtmltopdf-add-content-to-the-bottom-of-the-last-page

Thanks Toledoh - it looks as though that works for html additions in the footer area only too... no putting a pdf file into that footer unfortunately.

Thanks thou :)
