Ping for help!
If y’all know any computer experts, please send them my way! :-)
Thanks.
You can Save as PDF in Word and other word processing programs as well.
May I suggest giving FoxIt a try? I've been using it for three or four years and it works well and is very fast.
PDF files have to have page breaks. That’s the purpose of PDF; to transmit a completely formatted document that doesn’t need the software that originally created it.
Go to PRINT
Select Adobe PDF, but don’t print
Select PREFERENCES
Select ADD CUSTOM PAGE
Put in a really huge number for the HEIGHT
The user forums at www.adobe.com are great resources for questions such as yours.
Sorry, but personally wouldn't be much help.

I hope you don’t mind if I piggyback on your request. I just remembered I need some help also.
I need a program that will append PDFs onto a master PDF document based upon certain criteria. For instance, if the main datasheet uses 3 different package types, then I would need to append those 3 package PDFs, add an FAQ document PDF, and a product reliability/testing PDF as well, all of these documents merged into one SuperDatasheet PDF. I would need to be able to do this with several hundred datasheet PDF documents in such a way that if, say, one of the Package PDF docs gets changed, then I can automatically update and distribute that change to all of the datasheets that use that PDF document within hours rather than weeks.
Javascripting sounds like it would do the trick, but I’m not a developer. Also we found a piece of software called “Active PDF Toolkit” but our IT Department has given this project so little priority that more than 6 months later, they still have not yet evaluated it (it’s basically a COM programming environment for PDFs).
Traction Software has PDF U which has a Batch Process capability and can store a batch file. But the file is not manipulable without programming; we would need to be able to have some smarts and monitoring and conditions on which files get appended.

Has anyone used PDFTK?
If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover, hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a command-line ...

Basically I need some software we can download and get the job done without relying upon our IT department to learn the scripting language. It can’t be too basic like some of the free PDF tools we can download (none of those work as far as I can tell), but it can also not be too complicated that I’d need to spend 6 months I don’t have to learn a scripting language or have our lame IT department drag their heels on the project.
PDF stands for “Page description format” so it’s strongly linked to the size and shape of a physical piece of paper. If you can get your driver configured to print on a 8.5” x 60” page size or something like that, it might work I think.

In the example above, I show the postscript file I created, then run ps2pdf against it, then show both files.
