  Hi,

  I am using “vsprint8” and “vsrpt8” ocx files to create pdf files.

  ActiveX version : V8.0.20101.156.
  
  I could not find any function for merge the 2 pdf files into one pdf files.
  
  Could you help me on how to merge the 2 pdf files into one pdf file using above ocx files.

  Thank you

  Regards,
  
  Latha

  Hi Latha,

  There is no direct way to merge the resultant Pdf files. However, you can achieve your requirement by appending multiple reports to VSPrinter and then use VSPDF object to convert the VSPrinter document to a single PDF file.

  'Loading multiple reports and rendering them as VSPrint files .vp  
  Private Sub cmdMerge_Click()  
    vsr.Load App.Path & "\\Tricky.xml", "Employees" 'vsr= VSReports  
    vsr.RenderToFile App.Path & "\\vsprint1.vp", vsrVSPrinter  
    vsr.Load App.Path & "\\Tricky.xml", "Products"  
    vsr.RenderToFile App.Path & "\\vsprint2.vp", vsrVSPrinter  
    vsr.Load App.Path & "\\Tricky.xml", "Order Report No Params"  
    vsr.RenderToFile App.Path & "\\vsprint3.vp", vsrVSPrinter  
  End Sub 
  

  Now after rendering multiple .vp files, we need to merge them into a single VSPrint document.

  'Appending multiple .vp files to VSPrint document  
  Private Sub cmdGen_Click()  
    vp.LoadDoc "vsprint1.vp", 1  
    vp.LoadDoc "vsprint2.vp", 1  
    vp.LoadDoc "vsprint3.vp", 1  
  End Sub  
  

  Rendering VSPrint doc to PDF using VSPdf:

  'Rendering VSPrint Doc into PDF  
  Private Sub cmdGen\_PDF\_Click()  
    vsp.ConvertDocument vp, App.Path & "\\new.pdf"  ' COnverting VSPrint into VSPdf  
  End Sub
  

  Thanks,

  Hi Pragathi,
  
  Thank you for response…
  
  I am using these classes in VC++.
  
  In below way, merging and printing the document.

  I am able to merge the document now.

  void CVSReportHost::LoadAndPrintReport(_bstr_t FileName, _bstr_t Filename2)
  
  {
  
  m_IDC_VSPRINTER1->LoadDoc(FileName, 1);
  
  m_IDC_VSPRINTER1->LoadDoc(Filename2, 1);
  
  m_IDC_VSPRINTER1->PrintDoc();
  
  }

  Thanks&Regards,

  Hello,

  I want to save the pdf file after merge the document into single. Could you suggest?

  void CVSReportHost::LoadAndPrintReport(_bstr_t FileName, _bstr_t Filename2)
  
  {
  
  m_IDC_VSPRINTER1->LoadDoc(FileName, 1);
  
  m_IDC_VSPRINTER1->LoadDoc(Filename2, 1);
  
  m_IDC_VSPRINTER1->PrintDoc();
  
  }

  I am trying to use SaveDoc function. but document is not opening with this function.
  
  Could you help me on how to save the merged document on specified location.

  Thank you in Advance.

  Hi Latha,

  Please use VSPdf for the purpose:
  
  https://help.grapecity.com/componentone/NetHelp/vsview8/vspdfcontrol.html

  It allows you to create and add information to PDF files. You can use its ConvertDocument method to convert the current VSPrinter document into a PDF file:
