"My company is a service bureau, and we're constantly assembling streams of documents for printing and disc applications, sometimes thousands of pages per file. Reliability is key, and AppendPDF just works."
- Robert W., Litigation Support Service Bureau Operator

"Our users log into their accounts, select the documents they want and receive a dynamically published collection containing all their requested documents. Waiting for these files to be combined was our number one complaint until we installed AppendPDF. Now we don't get any complaints at all." - J. D. Vai, VP for User Experience |
From report generation to documentation to archiving, litigation support, web-presentment and a host of other applications, the key to success is reliability and high-performance.
End-users for server applications that merge PDF files tend to want the result as quickly as possible, along with the smallest possible file-size. They are intolerant of errors.
Now repowered with Adobe's own PDF Library, AppendPDF is the best-in-class solution for appending PDF documents in mission-critical on-demand and high-volume document production implementations.

Now Powered by the Adobe PDF Library NEW in 5.0!
All Adobe PDF Library powered Appligent Document Solutions software includes unique features:
For document optimization, use -optimize. Leveraging Adobe's unique investment in PDF engineering, this flag performs a variety of completely safe optimization and cleanup routines, reducing file-size in most instances.
To maximize compression, use -comp. This flag applies Adobe Systems' object level compression in addition to other compression mechanisms (limits compatibility to Acrobat 6 or higher).
To ensure compatibility with all versions of Acrobat/Reader, use, -nocomp. This flag will remove object level compression, ensuring compatibility with all versions of Acrobat.
To create an ISO 32000 compliant PDF, use -iso32000. This flag sets the output file version for ISO 32000 compliance (Adobe PDF version 1.7).
