Sorry for not having explained clear in my first
posting. I repeat it with following examples;

1) Saving webpages from website as following files

Page-1.pdf
Page-2.pdf
Page-3.pdf
Page-4.pdf
and so on

- how to combine all of them in a SINGLE file in the
order of page number still in .pdf format.
- how to rearrange them in the SINGLE file changing
postition of Page-4 to Page-1 etc. afterwards

2) Printing webpages from website as following files

Page-1.ps
Page-2.ps
Page-3.ps
Page-4.ps
and so on

- how to combine all of them in a SINGLE file in the
order of page number still in .ps format.
- how to rearrange them in the SINGLE changing
postition of Page-4 to Page-1 etc. afterwards

3) Saving webpages from website as following files

Page-1.html
Page-2.html
Page-3.html
Page-4.html
and so on

- how to combine all of them in a SINGLE file in the
order of page number still in .html format.
- how to rearrange them in the SINGLE changing
postition of Page-4 to Page-1 etc. afterwards

TIA
