Found this awesome bit of code to create a single pdf file from a given folder, but i can't get it to create bookmarks when inserting.

In the Acrobat and PDF Library API Reference: InsertPages(long nInsertPageAfter,  LPDISPATCH iPDDocSource,long nStartPage, long nNumPages, long bBookmarks)   For bBookMarks - If a positive number, bookmarks are copied from the source document. If 0, they are not.

I found the i have tried all of these options:

PartDocs(0).InsertPages(n - 1, PartDocs(i), 0, Ni, True)

PartDocs(0).InsertPages(n - 1, PartDocs(i), 0, Ni, 1)

PartDocs(0).InsertPages(n - 1, PartDocs(i), 0, Ni, -1)

What am i missing?  any help would be greatly appreciated.

The code doesn't create bookmarks if they weren't there before (what would they say and where would they link?). The flag you mention just controls whether existing bookmarks are merged in with the pages.

Ahhh,  I thought it would use the filename as a bookmark, like "Combine Files into PDF"  (Always add bookmarks to Adobe PDF) in the GUI does.
