      I have a group of LO files each producing multi page PDF's for the same job. Anybody have any suggestions on the best way to merge them into a single PDF file? I have PDF Factory Pro which is a printer emulator but ideally I would like a drag & drop solution.

          Thanks Marcus, looks like a good solution. πŸ‘

          I've learnt a couple of things about LO and PDF output...

          1. Customising the toolbar to include the printer icon speeds things up! 😳
          2. LO's PDF export doesn't embed fonts, so printing a LO PDF to a PDF printer results in jagged fonts. 😞

            I use Corel PDF Fusion. Not free but worth the money. It has an interesting way to view and combine PDF files.

              Hmmmm? Not sure on that one! I create a lot of logo's in Layout (as I find Illustrator a hog!) and the PDFs I take into Illustrator or Indesign certainly have fonts retained!

                Rich, here' a couple of screen grabs resulting from importing a LO PDF export. All fonts are Arial based..

                Yes the text is back to front, it's not got corrupted on uploading to the forum! If I use PDF Factory I can open the files without a problem. πŸ˜•
