Merging PDFs in Repository

asked on December 10, 2019

We have a unit with whom need to constantly add additional pages to pdfs in the system. However, we have run into several issues. Initially we decided to not retain the original pdf document and just use the Laserfiche pages generated upon import. We saw that occasionally we had quality issues when we exported the document from the system. So we reverted back to keeping the electronic file and the Laserfiche page. 

 

Our latest issue is when I have a pdf in the system, let's say 4 pages, and I merged it with another 4-page pdf I've imported the document viewer will only display the 8-page count when I view the Laserfiche pages. So essentially when we merge documents in the system the only pages we are adding to are the Laserfiche pages. 

 

I feel as if this was not always the case, as I tried this several times on my own prior to giving instructions for our users. Am I missing something or is this a functionality that no longer exists.

Unfortunately Laserfiche does not merge electronic documents, as they are stored in their native format. Laserfiche can merge Laserfiche documents, but it sounds like you have tried that or are trying that already.

Have you tried other using software to convert the PDF files into Laserfiche documents? I know that Laserfiche Snapshot gives several options when converting. Quick Fields can also convert the PDF images as well.
