It's been a month dreaming too of this quick solution, i have a very simple problem.... merging 1 or more PDF files using Delphi. Been talking to support teams and forums regarding this matter... they always tell me READ THIS - READ THAT. Most of them give parameter or theoretical syntax.. #$%^^#%%%@%#@#.... :( 

Sigh... can anyone really just give a very simple sample program to do this please... I am kindly loosing confidence... thanks much!

Yes, I recognize that the QP stuff is the easy part... That's why I was asking if anyone out there had run across a need for an application such as that which I am describing.

I can see lots of utility use for such an application, I was just hoping someone else had already taken the time to develop one so I don't have to!

Still dreaming of a "quick" solution...

Here is the simple Quick PDF Library Code.  The hard part is programming the rules you require.

        QP.ClearFileList("test");

        QP.AddToFileList("test", "1-1805B663 data.pdf");

        QP.AddToFileList("test", "1805B results.pdf");

        QP.AddToFileList("test", "som0102a.pdf");

        QP.AddToFileList("test", "c3639-03DL.pdf");

        QP.AddToFileList("test", "c3639-04.pdf");

        QP.MergeFileList("test", "merged.pdf");

Seeing no input from the crowd, I assume the message is "start writing the application"...

Anyone else out there need an application like this???

Here is a typical situation:

\Production folder

PDF-A

PDF-B

PDF-C

PDF-D

PDF-E

...

JOB-1 needs the following PDFs combined in the following order: 

PDF-A

PDF-C

PDF-E

PDF-B

JOB-2 needs the following PDFs combined in the following order: 

PDF-D

PDF-C
