It seems to me, then, that it would be better to use a utility that can combine multiple PDF's into a single PDF.

What I would do then is to create a single PDF for each song. If I change the song, then I create a new PDF. When I need to create a new songbook, then just select the songs to combine and create the larger songbook.

I haven't tried it with PDF995, but the two additional programs you need to install are free (or were included with the pack you may have purchased). That's worth a try. That way, you'd have a separate file for each song (for when you need a one-off), or can combine them whichever way you see fit.

This is from the PDF995 FAQ:

How do I combine documents into a single PDF?
PdfEdit995 v6.8 (and higher) offers two methods for Combining documents into a single PDF.

1. Combine mode at print time: Print the first document, turn on Combine mode in PdfEdit995. Make sure you are not overwriting a PDF that is open in Acrobat. Print subsequent documents to Pdf995. Each new pdf will contain all previously printed documents. Turn off combine mode when done.
Note: You can print a section of a pdf from the free Acrobat to Pdf995. This can be used to add, remove and reorder pages.

2. The Combine Existing PDF tool enables automatic concatenation of existing PDFs. The Extract PDF Pages tool enables extraction of a range of pages from a PDF to a new PDF. This can be used to add, remove and reorder pages.





Just a thought.

I don't want to go on too much about a non PGMusic product, but I do know it's important to be able to print out songbooks (which I've done for the musicians that play with me).
