Pagination in merged pdf documents

Certified Lead Developer

I'm using ADT and generating several templates and then converting multiple PDFs into a single PDF document using merge PDF plugins.

During this process, pagination is not consistent across.

Eg:-

1st ADT to PDF has 5 pages and they are named 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

2nd ADT to PDF has 3 pages and they are named 1, 2 and 3

When merging the PDFs, a single PDF is generated as expected however the pagination is not continuous i.e., 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Instead it shows as 1,2,3,4,5,1,23

Is there a way to fix this issue?

Is there a plugin that can take a single PDF document and apply pagination to it.

Appreciate your suggestions!!!

  • I dont think it is re-organizing, it is just merging the 2 PDFs as-is without considering the pagination.

    Let's say the output from first file is 5 pages i.e., 1,2,3,4,5 and output from the second page is 3 pages i.e., 1,2,3

    After merging first file and second file, the total number of pages are 8 but on display the page numbers are shown as 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3 and not 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and that is the issue.

    Is there any workaround for the same.

    Appreciate your inputs!!!
