Please attach the sample files. Although the problem looks general enough to be reproducible with any files we cannot be sure that the problem you report is fixed without your sample files. Created attachment 2005 [details]

All, I have attached all the files. Here are the two commands I used. gs -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dNOPAUSE -sOUTPUTFILE=try1.pdf graph_results.ps processor_compare.ps gs -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dNOPAUSE -sOUTPUTFILE=try2.pdf graph_results.pdf processor_compare.pdf This is a PDF interpreter problem. Then 2 or more PDFs are concatenated, the PDF interpreter sends pdfmark commands to the PS interpreter. Doing so it uses page numbers through current document. It must either use global page numbers through the document set, or associate them with current page (and issue in the appropriate moment). Note that when PSs are concatenated (maybe with PDFs), if the PS files issue pdfmark with local page numbers, they should be replaced with globals. Passing the bug to Dan who handles the PDF interpreter. Created attachment 2023 [details]
pdfmarkhook.ps
A hook for studying pdfmark structure in documents. Execute it before running a
document.

All, Sorry for not understanding where this is. It appears from your emails that it is a bug. Does anyone know if there is a workaround? I tried converting the pdf to ps and then combining but that did not work either. Thanks. back to support for dispatch. Assigning to Alex as a PDF interp issue Hmm, it seems that "ps then ps" and "pdf then ps" already work, and "pdf then pdf" is covered by the patch in bug 688829 . The one case that still doesn't work after the patch for bug 688829 is "ps then pdf". While it would be nice that "ps then pdf" works, is fixing bug 688829 considered "good enough"? There is some ambiguity in what the reporter wants - is it for merging pdfs or any arbitrary mixture of ps+pdf in any order? There is another ambiguity - the two result pdfs also differ by default view (i.e. whether to show bookmarks on open). I think not making any effort copying the default view might be also considered a small bug. (there is already a bug filed by somebody for not copying metadata of pdf's) commit 073f460af5bb37edb1849c5d6235048598100437 resolves this problem for me.
