Hi Experts,

I have one requirement is like.....

In my form user can add n-number of attachments after that when he clicks on submit button..all attched documents shd merge (append) to base document.

I can do this if my base doc is non-interactive pdf ...but in my case base document and attached documents(attached docs may or may not interactive) are interactive pdf files. How to handle this in ES3 version? Any ideas or samples....it is very urgent.

Regards,

Srujan

I think you need at least one non interactive doc and the other documents can be static pdfs

Hi Srujan81,

Livecycle  Assembler Service cannot merge inter-active pdfs. Write a custom component and use it for merging. You can try different open-source java-based libraries to write custom components. It tried with ItextPdf and it is working fine at our end. You can include open-source libraries in custom component.
