Appending pdf's created by different pdf creators

Hi

I'm trying to merge (using the document.append method) some pdf's created by different programs into one pdf.
I have some problems regarding this.

I have an actual example merging 3 files created by:
1) Adobe PDF library 6.66
2) GNU Ghostscript 7.05
3) Corel PDF Engine 9.397

When merging all three I get an exception on the save method following the append's:
Access violation in module CDINTF~1.dll

Same happens when merging 1 + 2 and 2 + 3.

When merging 1 + 3 I get no error on the save, but the resolving pdf only has 4 squares with no contents in it.

My conclusion is that there must be some requirements to the pdf's, that should be merged. How are these requirements and how can I check the individual pdf's, if they are met?

Kind regards, Benny Dein[/list]

Hello,

Are you using the PDF Creator or PDF Converter to merge the files?

Which version of the product you are using?

Please note either the PDF Creator or the PDF Converter will support the majority of pdf files generated by other drivers, but it happen that some files may not be supported by our drivers.

To check if the files you are trying to merge are supported by our drivers please send them to support@amyuni.com

Thanks for your answer!

I'm using the Amyuni Document Converter 2.50.

I will mail you the 3 pdf's regarding this concrete situation.

Unfortunately I need to check the files programatically, so I can avoid errors, when trying to handle different kind of pdf's. Therefore I need some advice regarding this.
