How do I merge an existing PDF with my report?

Appraise-It can merge your report with an existing PDF file at the time you print your report to PDF.

1. Save the PDF file you want to attach (for example, to C:\TRADATA\PDF).
2. Open your completed, signed report in Appraise-It.
3. Go to File ⇨ Print PDF, or click the Print PDF button on the toolbar.
4. Select the pages of the report you want to print, then click Print.
5. In the Save As dialog, navigate to the PDF file you saved in Step 1 and select it.
6. Make sure that only the Run Viewer Application Saving option at the bottom of the Save As dialog is checked, then click Save.
7. Select a merge option.

• Select Merge With Existing (Insert Before) to have your original PDF file appear after your report in the new PDF.
• Select Merge With Existing (Append To) to have your original PDF file appear before your report in the new PDF.

8. Click OK, and Appraise-It will generate a PDF of your report, attaching it to the existing PDF file depending on your selection in Step 7.

The new PDF will open in your default viewing application for review.
