Use of mergefile setting in setting.ini

Post by tim »

Hi,

I'm trying to create, then append to a PDF file.

I start with the following in settings.ini:

[PDF Printer]
Output = c:\filename.PDF
ShowPDF=no
ShowSaveAs = never
ConfirmOverwrite = no
SettingsProgram=
AfterPrintProgram=

...and printing works fine. Then I write the following to settings ini:

[PDF Printer]
Output = c:\filename.PDF
MergeFile = c:\filename.PDF
ShowPDF=no
ShowSaveAs = never
ConfirmOverwrite = no
SettingsProgram=
AfterPrintProgram=

... and print again in an attempt to merge with the file first file.
All that happens is that the file is overwritten - I would expect a sceond page.

If I omit the 'Output...' line, I get a saveas dialogue box despite having showsaveas set to never.

What am I doing wrong?

I also am trying to make mergefile work, but have experienced the same things as Tim (his post Oct 4) . . .

Mergefile would be VERY handy to me, so anything that can be done would be appreciated!
