Paulo:

Thanks for the tip that will work just as well.

On another subject, is it possible to open a PDF import all the pages into an array and add them (using ddPage()) to the target document?  If you notice in the inner loop of the sample, it is creating a reader object for ever pass of the outer loop.  I was hopping to read those pages once and them added many times.

Saludos,
Orlando

Create a PDf with a single blank page and use it as needed. newPage won't
work with PdfCopy.
