Question
I've searched and have not been able to find an answer. I'm not sure this is the right forum, if not let me know. I export (via VBA) 50+ pdf documents using Excel. They are all saved into one folder. I'd like to then be able to combine each of those into one pdf. I know I can click a few buttons to combine them using Adobe, but I would like to programmatically accomplish this. Is there a way of making it happen using VBA, VBScript or another type of code? Thanks
Hi Jack,
Sorry I cannot help you here due to my being relatively new to coding, but I did find a couple of forum threads that look promising.
Take a look at:

or
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/community/aspnet/8/23458/vb6-how-to-merge-two-pdf-fil...
You might also try searching using the keywords: combine pdf files vb.
you could also find other code examples by substituting the vb for java etc.
Thanks and good luck,
Ken Black
