LinearizeForWeb vs Concatenate

myersge · Post by **myersge** » Mon Jun 25 2007

I'm using the PDF Convertor in VisualBasic to concatentate multiple PDF prints to the same file. However, there seems to be an 'interference' between the LinearizeForWeb setting and the Concatenate setting.

For the first file to be printed I use:

cdi.FileNameOptionsEx = AMY_NOPROMPT + AMY_USEFILENAME + AMY_EMBED_FONTS + AMY_MULTILINGUAL + AMY_LINEARIZE_FOR_WEB

and I get a PDF output file that looks correct. For all the rest of the files, I use:

cdi.FileNameOptionsEx = AMY_NOPROMPT + AMY_USEFILENAME + AMY_EMBED_FONTS + AMY_MULTILINGUAL + AMY_LINEARIZE_FOR_WEB + AMY_CONCATENATE

(You'll have to trust me that the hex values are correct.)

With the settings above, the concatentation doesn't work and the resulting PDF file contains only the first file printed to the PDF printer. I get no errors. If I remove the LinearizeForWeb option, then the concatenation works fine.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Hello,

I trust you for the Hex values

.

Both Linearization and Concatenation are post processing features. I will check if there is any problem using these two features simultaneously.

In the mean time i suggest that you genearate your PDF file while using Concatenation alone and then, when the file is generated, you can open it and set linearization to True.

Hoipe this helps.

Hello again,

I checked this and in my case using both Concatenate and PostProcessing is working properly.

I am using version 3.01 of the PDF Converter myself.

If you wish please send a request to support@amyuni.com to check your code and your samle files.

hope this helps.
