Details

Although TIFF-F files may contain pages with different attributes, nfxMergeFile copies whole pages from one file to another. It does not convert or examine attributes. All pages of input files are copied sequentially into the single output_file_name. At least one input_file. must exist. The contents of the input files do not change.

The resulting TIFF-F or TIFF-S output file can have different attributes on different pages.

Use nfxCheckTIFF to examine the attributes of all input files before operating on them with either nfxMergeFile or nfxSplitFile.

Note: Make sure the application continues processing events during an active fax session. If file I/O intensive operations such as merging files interfere with the handling of events, the fax session could time out. Events should be processed within three seconds.
