Daren, Thinking of the top of my head, would it be possible to set a Macro Recording ON, do the steps manually, turn the Macro OFF and then look at the code?

Sounds like a big ask - I really am not expecting anyone to have done it - I'm just looking for pointers I was thinking - 1 Open file (This bit I can do) 2 With the open file print to file pages 1 and 2 (This bit I can't do) 3 save the 'new' pages 1 and 2 to file 001a.pdf (This bit I can't do) 4 loop all the other PDFs in a folder and repeat (This bit I can do) 5 Then merge all the 001a.pdf, 002a.pdf, 003a.pdf etc files into one file (This bit I can do) Thanks team Darren -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
