Thanks, bb

Just for curiosity:

can you try with these filenames : yujo_insurance000.pdf yujo_insurance001.pdf yujo_insurance002.pdf yujo_insurance003.pdf : : yujo_insurance012.pdf and so on ?

exexec --pdfarrange --result=yujo_insurance.pdf yujo_insurance1.pdf yujo_insurance2.pdf yujo_insurance3.pdf yujo_insurance4.pdf yujo_insurance5.pdf yujo_insurance6.pdf yujo_insurance7.pdf yujo_insurance8.pdf yujo_insurance9.pdf yujo_insurance10.pdf yujo_insurance11.pdf yujo_insurance12.pdf

After upgrading recently, I found that texexec no longer preserves the order of files passed to it. When I concatenate files with texexec, I often have more than 10 files I want to pass to texexec names filename1.pdf, filename2.pdf, ... filename12.pdf, etc. In the past, the following has worked to concatenate

in the correct order:

texexec --pdfarrange --result=filename.pdf `ls -a -v filename*.pdf`

Now, even if I pass filename10.pdf after filename2.pdf on the command

----- Original Message ---- these line,

...

texexec ingores this and puts filename10.pdf before filename2.pdf in the resulting concatenated file.

Is there a fix for this, or is there a better way to concatenate pdf files?
