Append two documents to one, how

It doesn't. Ton of freeware/shareware/cheaper alternatives to Acrobat out there. I think JoAnn uses PrimoPDF, also seen CutePDF and PDF1995 mentioned. Check 'em out. Though, on second thought it occurred to me that--can't you find the efficiency you are looking for by selecting two documents in Windows Explorer and right-clicking to Print, or somesuch? And do you really want to risk the situation where you email students a sample exam and forget you had been trying to be all efficient and give them the answers as well? I'm not really sure having 1 doc is all that more efficient for archiving than having 2. Putting two printouts in the same file folder is more efficient, yes, but on the computer? Daiya |

Actually I use Acrobat Pro v7 but I also have PrimoPDF that I've tested so
that I could pass the information along to fellow guild editors. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. .

The goal was to archive them on CD and make sure the exam and its solutions never get separated. Needless to say, since I recognized this problem I've been creating them as a single documents from the get-go. And do you really want to risk the situation where you email students a sample exam and forget you had been trying to be all efficient and give them the answers as well? :-) That would be a concern, I agree. But I have sample exams on the class Web pages, so I think I'm covered there. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?"

Hey now! I *am* the other half. ;-)
The copy of Acrobat I have was purchased by the organization I belong to. I do the newsletter and website and it's very nice for getting our information out to our members. If they hadn't agreed to the purchase, I'd be using PrimoPDF. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Stan Brown" wrote in message ...
