The free Bullzip driver is based on biopdf. Use the biopdf printer to programmatically merge pdf files, https://www.biopdf.com/. They do charge for using their driver, but the cost is reasonable. I had to go back and see how I did this work in 2014. Sorry for the previous link.

Thanks for the link.  Access can create PDF files, this product seems to be a replacement for the Access capability.  There is a stand-alone merge program For combining two or more PDF files.  I did not see any way to interface this program from the Access application.  Do you know if there are APIs to this merge capability?

The pdf print driver from Bullzip allows appending documents and can be controlled programmatically, https://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php.

I have an Access 2016 application that creates 2 reports in PDF format.
After these PDF files are created, is there any way to combine them into a single PDF file without using third party software like Adobe Acrobat Pro?
