I have another issue that I cannot seem to find an answer to.
I have a few legal documents, plus my own data that OI creates that I would like OI to put together and create one PDF. The documents are in Word which I can make into PDF if that would help. The problem is that I want my final document to start off with the first already created word document then I do my code in OI to make the middle pages (Set_printer style) then finally topping it off with the last word document Creating one PDF document.
I tried looking into help and searching online here with no luck. I guess I should start off by asking if this is even possible in OI? Is there anyway to append data onto existing files?
I don't want to have to make the employee run multiple programs and manually put the documents together which has room for major errors not to mention that it might not be what the customer originally received…

Create an image (BMP) of the document, insert this image into your OIPI document and print the OI data on top of the image. Do this all the time.
Hope this helps

Do you know of a good program that will convert the document (*.doc) to BMP? I tried one and it does not add the header and footer info. And I really dont want to make word to pdf then pdf to tif then tif to bmp.

There are numerous programs for sale that will combine multiple .pdf files into one. Search the internet for one that has a command line interface.
e.g. http://www.verypdf.com/pdfpg/index.html

Ok I am able to combine them with bmps… I hope that maybe in a future release of OI that you can combine already created documents. My pdf is now 100 times larger in size since adding the bmps.

I just ended up opening word and saving as .tif then opening .tif and saving as .bmp
i did not want to buy anything right now the free trial versions did not save the header and footer info when converting.
