This bug has just resurfaced. It was working, for a while, but is now back. I a, on a fully updated mandriva 2009 system using texlive. Thanks, bb ----- Original Message ----

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 these 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 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?

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 ?

It seems texexec is rearranging things for us. If I have three files: pabscan001.pdf pabscan002.pdf pabscan010.pdf Both of these statements produce the same output: texexec --pdfarrange --result=pabscana.pdf pabscan001.pdf pabscan010.pdf pabscan002.pdf texexec --pdfarrange --result=pabscana.pdf pabscan001.pdf pabscan002.pdf pabscan010.pdf Namely, the order is interpreted as: TeXExec | arranging file pabscan001.pdf TeXExec | arranging file pabscan002.pdf TeXExec | arranging file pabscan010.pdf Here is the full output of texexec --pdfarrange --result=pabscana.pdf pabscan001.pdf pabscan010.pdf pabscan002.pdf TeXExec | arranging file pabscan001.pdf TeXExec | arranging file pabscan002.pdf TeXExec | arranging file pabscan010.pdf TeXExec | processing document 'texexec' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | outputfile pabscana TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | writing option file texexec.top TeXExec | using randomseed 489 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.5 (Web2C 7.5.6) %&-line parsing enabled.
