Distribute PDFTK??? My instructions for Patent Grabber simply tell Windows

It works on Windows too. Just remember to save the PDF form as extended,
otherwise Acrobat Reader users will not be able to fill the forms. I can send
you some snippets so you can see how it’s done if you like. Contact me on

The easy way to do this is to assemble an FDF data file. I have already done
this in my Forms Generator application. First, I export the form data. To get
all the fields even the empty ones you have to create a javascript action,
because the built in data export only exports fields with data in

PDFTK works fine under Windows using shell commands from Livecode. That is how
my Patent Grabber app combines individual patent pages into a single PDF.

Here is a link for a program that appears to

Check with some Acrobat Developer forums. I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts there
is a way to do this with their Java API.

Well it was a good try anyway. I am going to search
for some pdf code and see if I can find any that can

Adobe has a document describing the structure. Looks like the format is a
little more complicated than would permit this. I tried it, the resulting
document is corrupted (of course). But if you knew how to extract the pointers
to all the objects, and the body information containing any fonts and
It might know by some info at the beginning of the

long (minutes)< others it doesn't like files (but every pdf program refuses
Way back in Adobe Acrobat Pro 5, there was a built-in adobe scripting
feature that could combine pages. In later versions that option
disappeared. So I now provide my users a "collect" button which fetches
