can you combine 2 pdfs using the ReportDocument object?

[ikirkland]

I have a bit of code that exports 1 pdf, but was wondering if I could add another crystal report into a pdf file that I am currently creating. Or is there a better way to do it? Your help would be appreciated...

Dim crReportDocument As New ReportDocument()
Dim crExportOptions As New ExportOptions()
Dim crDiskFileDestinationOption As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()

Try
crReportDocument.Load(txtCrystalFilename.Text, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByDefault)
crDiskFileDestinationOption.DiskFileName = txtPDFFilename.Text
crExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
crExportOptions.DestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOption
crExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
crExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
crReportDocument.Export()

MessageBox.Show("complete!&quot

Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)

Finally
crReportDocument = Nothing
crExportOptions = Nothing
crDiskFileDestinationOption = Nothing

End Try

I'm pretty sure you can merge two PDF files with Adobe Acro Writer. Don't know how it would be done otherwise.

Does your method of exporting directly to a file (without utilizing the CR Viewer) work? If I re-write one of my VB6 apps this would be an important element of my program as well.

Thanks,
