I have used the following postscript (test.ps) to merge two other
postscripts into one PDF using the distiller in Acrobat 7.0. I just
updated to Acrobat 9.0 and the merge postscript no longer produces a
PDF.

Here is the PS merge file code:

test.ps:

/prun { /mysave save def % Performs a save before running the PS
file
dup = flush % Shows name of PS file being run
RunFile % Calls built in Distiller procedure
clear cleardictstack % Cleans up after PS file
mysave restore % Restores save level
} def

(H:/ps1.ps) prun
(H:/ps2.ps) prun

Hers is what I get in the log file:
test.log:

H:/ps1.ps
H:/ps2.ps
%%[ Warning: Empty job. No PDF file produced. ] %%


Would anyone have any suggestions as to why my merge postscript no
longer works? If I just run ps1.ps or ps2.ps by themselves they will
make their own PDF, but I really need them together.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Start the distiller with the command line option /F

Thank you for the advice. If I start the program using the command
line arcodist.exe /F I can then use the Distiller to select my test.ps
file and I will create the merge pdf.

Now to make it more complicated. Is there a way within the settings
to have that default assume the /F? That way I could just double
click on my test.ps to make the merged pdf?

Thanks again.
