Topic: concatenate PDF's

[roy_043]

@ ttechnik: You should supply the path to the PDFs. And to merge files you have to specify more than one source file.

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (startapp
2.   (strcat
3.     "D:/gs/gs918/bin/gswin64 "
4.     "-dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile="
5.     "D:/Test/merged.pdf D:/Test/a.pdf D:/Test/b.pdf"
6.   )
7. )

Not 64 bit problem.
Great difficulty solved problem.
The target must be complete file path.
Otherwise, not will create.

Code: [Select]

(command "shell"
    (strcat "d:/gs32/gs9.18/bin/gswin32 -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -iDirectories=d:/gs32/gs9.18/bin
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=d:/gs32/gs9.18/bin/target.pdf a.pdf b.pdf  ")
  )

What to do in the parameters, file names have spaces?

Will escaping the quote mark work?

Code: [Select]

... -sOutputFile=d:/gs32/gs9.18/bin/target.pdf \"a.pdf\" \"b.pdf\"

[ttechnik]

Not what I meant.

Code: [Select]

(command "shell"
    (strcat (findfile "gs/bin/gswin32.exe") " -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q "
                      "-iDirectories=" filesdir " -sDEVICE=pdfwrite "
                      "-sOutputFile=" outputfullfilename " " file1 " " file2)
  )
file2 is "H:\\MT GPON 2015\\KM 002 Mezőkövesd dél (II) INS Turn Key\\__ReKód_13-14-15\\15\\dd-temp"

Which replace the space character strings?

[ttechnik]

Here is the solution:

Code: [Select]

(command "shell" (strcat (chr 34) "A:\\support_sajat\\prog_samples\\gs\\bin\\gswin32.exe "
"-dSAFER " "-dBATCH " "-dNOPAUSE " "-q " "-sDEVICE=pdfwrite " (chr 34)
"-sOutputFile=C:\\Users\\Tamás\\Dropbox\\F\\ss.pdf" (chr 34) " " (chr 34)
"C:\\Users\\Tamás\\Dropbox\\FTTH minták\\aa.pdf" (chr 34) " " (chr 34)
"C:\\Users\\Tamás\\Dropbox\\FTTH minták\\ss-temp.pdf" (chr 34)))
