How to combine 2 xdp files?

[Niketa]

Is there any way that I can combine 2 xdp files in LC Designer? I
created around 20 xdp files long time ago and now I have to append few
pages to all those files I created.

Can I do this at run time? after the 1st pdf is created from xdp, I
append the 2nd one?

Thanks.

You can't concatenate two XFA PDFs. Each has it's own XFA model and
the two can't be combined.

Correct.  You can concatenate two PDF’s though.

Welcome and good luck.  There is also one more thing you can do.  That is to use xPath statements to grab bits of data out of each source XDP and then aggregate it into a new XDP template.  If you used a schema to design the two source XDP’s this should not be too hard but might take a bit of time.  This can be done by writing a custom component.  If you are not up for this, several of the great SI’s on this list like Ensemble, Avoka, Fourpoint etc. are probably able to help out.
