My recommendation would be to write your OWN command line "tool" (in Java) that
calls on iText to do EXACTLY what you need it to do...

Leonard,
I agree, and that would be my plan. However, I do need to find a command-line
way of achieving what I want. I've looked through the book for examples, and
can see that the closest I get is '...tools.plugins.Concat' etc, but there is
(or I haven't yet found it) any clear exapmples of how to actually do it.
Cheers
George

And since you're moving platforms, then moving to the latest version of iText
would also be a good thing - as there have been NUMEROUS improvements...

There are several questions here. As for the problem with Acrobat 9 files at
the time a file was requested and denied, we're not psychic to solve things
that we can't see. You are insisting a lot on the Toolbox, perhaps expecting
that it's some kind of command line utility. The Toolbox is a showcase for
some of the iText library capabilities. You should look at the examples at
http://1t3xt.info/ for ways to do it.
