    VB6 has no built in PDF functions. In order to do any kind of manipulations with a PDF file you would need some sort of SDK or a PDF Class module.

    Most of the ones I found cost money.

    Here is something that is free however.

    see this link http://pdfedit.petricek.net/appendix.html the free source program with api and command line, should do all you ask

    but maybe not so easy to use
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
