If the job contains multiple files, the PDF files are automatically merged into a single document. When the files are merged into a single document, the document can contain errors. A redistill of the PDF files can solve these errors. After the redistill, the application merges the files again.
Answer: When you redistill a PDF file you print it to Postscript and then convert that Postscript back into PDF.
A user submits 2 PDF files to the [Order processing] console. One PDF file contains a button with name “O1”. The second PDF file contains a check box with the same name “O1”.
The operator merges those 2 files. The result is a PDF file that contains 2 buttons, instead of one button and one check box. This is because the elements have the same name and when the files are merged the first found element is used.
The solution is to redistill the PDF files before you merge them. The elements are converted to images during redistill. Now the files can be merged. The PDF file will now correctly contain the button with name "O1" and the check box with name "O1".
