Hi, Foxy -

Hope this helps. I just tried it on my computer and it worked fine.

1. Open pdfEdit995.
2. Click on the Combine/Extract tab. (Note that you can use the “Combine existing PDFs” button, but you have to install additional [free] software to make it work. I’m just showing you how to use the “Combine pdf995 print jobs” button instead here.)
3. Make sure “Combine pdf995 print jobs” is unchecked. This is to print the first document.
4. Minimize pdfEdit995 on the task bar (so we can get back to it easily).
5. In BIAB, print the lead sheet from the first song you want. When asked for a filename, you can change the folder and the name. For this example, I am going to print to the desktop and call my project “Songbook.pdf”.
6. On my computer, the PDF output pops up in Foxit Reader (or it would do the same in Adobe Acrobat, if that were my default, but I use FoxIt as the default). If it doesn’t pop up, it’s probably because you have that feature turned off in your PDF reader; that’s okay. Once it pops up in the reader, close the reader. You don’t want to have that file open when you are trying to append the next document to it.
7. Go back to pdfEdit995 now and check the box that says “Combine pdf995 print jobs”. You’ll get a notification box that jobs will now be combined. There is a new checkbox that appears on the tab now called “Combine with the previous pdf995 print job”. Check that box also. Minimize pdf995Edit.
8. Print the lead sheet from the second song. When asked for a filename, enter the same as the first (for example, “Songbook.pdf” to the desktop). Note that “Notation.pdf” will be the default name, so change the name to “Songbook.pdf”. If you get a box to confirm overwriting the existing pdf file, click “Yes”.
9. When the document pops up in you PDF reader, scroll down to see that it now includes all documents printed so far. Go ahead and close your PDF reader again.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for each document you want in your “Songbook”.
11. After you have finished creating your “Songbook”, open pdfEdit995 from the taskbar and uncheck the box “Combine pdf995 print jobs”. You’ll get a notification that jobs will no longer be combined. You can now close pdfEdit995.
