I just did a project using PDFTron PDF4Net but the dll can be called by just about anything, or so they say. I take in PDFs append them, add in bookmarks and make a cover page. That about covered the change request I did last week. The making the cover page is similar to what your talking about and they have TONS of examples on how to do a lot of different stuff with your existing PDF. You can download it for free and see if it fits your need. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
