Try with pdfunite.

You can still call commands on the client in Forms 12 using the WEBUTIL.CLIENT_HOST function.

You can read about WEBUTIL in the Forms 12 Builder Help.

Thanks Cormaco, I'm generating report from Linux server , so I need to merge the reports in Linux and then transfer to remote windows server using webutil_file_transfer.AS_To_Client.
