Within Excel, the user selects which drawings to include in the package and simply hits a button to generate the merged pdf file. A basic description of what I'm trying to do: I have a number of standard engineering drawings that will be combined into a singular drawing package. However, I have not been successful in combining this with the macro that merges these individual files into a single file. I've successfully been able to use the MakeFDF macro to fill form fields in individual pdf files. Now I'm back at it and have a few more questions for you. I've had to put this on the back-burner for a while while working on some other projects. Any assistance is appreciated.thanks for your time. I'm an amateur in VBA at best and my attempts at combining these subs have not worked thus far. If sample files are needed, I'm sure I can add some pdfs of what I'm using. However, if the individual files have to be populated prior to the merge, then I'd need to include some actions to clear out those fields on the original files. Ideally, I'd prefer to have the merged file populated from cells in Excel since the files being merged are standard forms and drawings that would be used on multiple occasions. Any combination of these two subs would be incredibly useful. However, after merging the pdfs (some of which are not set up as forms) the fields are not recognized by Adobe and therefore are unable to be filled. This coding works on the individual pdfs. I tried using the code presented in this thread: My issue is now allowing for a VBA macro from excel to populate fields that are on the original pdfs. I'm utilizing the MergePDF macro kindly supplied by Kenneth Hobs in response to a previous question (see link below).
