Feature Request – Enhanced PDF Merging and Auto-Save Integration in Delphi FMX

[RaySa74]

Dear clawPDF Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a developer using clawPDF in a Delphi FMX application and would like to request a feature to improve the printing workflow.

Feature Request:
PDF Merging Functionality:

Allow my Delphi FMX application to programmatically instruct clawPDF to merge all subsequent print jobs into a single PDF until explicitly disabled.

For example:

pascal
// Pseudo-Code for Delphi
ClawPDF.MergeMode := True; // Start merging prints
// ... Print multiple documents ...
ClawPDF.MergeMode := False; // Stop merging and finalize PDF
Alternatively, expose an API to append print jobs to an existing PDF.

Auto-Save Integration:

Ensure this feature works seamlessly with clawPDF’s auto-save functionality (which I currently have enabled in settings).

Ideally, the merged PDF should be auto-saved once merging is complete or when explicitly triggered by the application.

Use Case:
In my application, users often generate multiple reports (e.g., invoices, logs) that need to be combined into a single PDF for convenience. Manually merging files post-print is time-consuming, so a programmatic solution would greatly enhance workflow efficiency.

Additional Notes:
If this feature already exists but isn’t documented, I’d appreciate guidance on how to implement it.

I’m happy to beta-test or provide further details if needed.

Thank you for your time and consideration. clawPDF is an invaluable tool, and this addition would make it even more powerful for Delphi developers.
