How to combine multiple print jobs into 1 file
I'm a recovering Windows user and I used a program called FinePrint. It acted as a virtual printer driver and allowed me to combine jobs into a PDF file.
That allowed me to combine (say) an excel print-out with a Word printout or multiple single prints(of various kinds)into 1 PDF file. Ideally it seems to be something like a printer-spool emptying all its jobs into one output file. Is there any program (commercial or free)for Linux that would allow me to do this? Thanks, Krishna |
If you print all the files to .pdf first, you should be able to concatenate them into a single PDF afterwards. There's an article on pdftk here: http://www.linux.com/articles/53701
I don't know if this is really what you're looking for...? |
Want to do it in 1step
matthewg42 Thanks for the reply.
I wanted to avoid the first step of printing out the files if possible. I have a macro in OpenOffice that prints the same page over 500 times (with the information changes each time). If I do it the 2 step way, I'd have to concat 500 files. With the spool, it's just one print Thanks. |
SOLVED! Try PrintRuler
It's an amazing opensource, free alternative that does nearly everything I wanted from fineprint
