I went to the manual first and found only ONE: texexec --pdfarrange --noduplex --paper=S6 file-a file-b but that nullified all links I had in my files, and changed the opening from from FitVisible to something else (all files were FitVisible). Next I went to two other sources he mentioned and Googled for: "-ntg-context concatenate pdf" did not yield much beyond that, and neither did Googling http://www.pragma-ade.com/ for the words "concatenate" or "combine". So does anyne know how to use "texexec" to concatenate two PDF files and preseve as much of the file as possible (links, opening format, ...) ? Paulo Ney
