Shane,
You know your stuff, I replaced the line as you instructed with this

"insert pages document "File_vdfx.pdf" after afterPage from document
"File_vdfy.pdf" starting with firstPage number of pages numPages"

and it works like a charm. The only issue I have with this is having to hard
code the names into the script as there may be dozens of these to do at a
time. Is this the only way this will work, or as an AS Kindergartner I'm I
missing something else. Even if this is it, it is 100% better than doing it
manually.
Thanks again,
Rick Norman
