Combine two xstrings to display as pdf in BSP

I am getting one xstring from the output spool and displaying it as a pdf in a BSP. This is working fine. I want to add a second page to the pdf - a static page. I am thinking about uplaoding the image into a Smartform and converting it to an xstring. I can display either the xstring from the spool or the xstring from my Smartform in my BSP. But I don't know how to combine the two in order to create a two-page pdf. I tried to concatenate them, but the pdf would then not display. It gave an error. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi Janice,

The xstrings of PDFs can't be combined that way. There may be some third party software that you could use to combine the PDFs and then reimport and display the result.

The xstring is the actual PDF file data (if you wanted, you could pass it to a file download function and save it on your computer as example.pdf)
