Slightly OT: Multiple RAF to single PDF?

edited February 2002 in General
I'm using RAF files to store one page samples of my reports. My boss wants
to be able to take all these sample reports and turn them into one big long
PDF, with one report per page. I know I can use the Archive Reader
component to turn RAF files into PDFs, but I don't think it will turn
multiple RAF files into one PDF. Are there any tools out there that will
take a bunch of PDFs and make them into one file? Thanks in advance for any
tips.

    That's not off topic:) There is a thread on our Devices newsgroup you should
    check out. It is named 'New Component To Combine Archive Files' on Jan 20,
    2002.

    We had a request from a user of PsRBExportDevices where they wanted exactly
    this - save multiple RAF files to a single PDF file.

    We tried out Kevin Ugan's component to merge the RAF files (check
    message -New Component to Combine Archive Files- by him in the devices NG),
    which it did comfortably. Then we just used the ExportArchiveToFile routine
    in our component suite to save the merged RAF file to a single PDF
    file. Feel free to mail us at info@pragnaan.com if you need the sample.

    Thanks for pointing out Kevin Ugan's component - I just got it this morning
    and it works very nicely. Good work Kevin!
