## Creating multiple-page documents

With DjVu Solo 3.1, you can create multiple-page DjVu documents by combining existing single- or multiple-page DjVu files. These files then appear as individual pages in the new multiple-page document. Use multiple-page DjVu documents to distribute several images in one file or to publish images on the Web.

You can combine image files in formats that DjVu Solo supports, and you can scan images directly into DjVu Solo to insert them into a multiple-page document. For a list of file formats you can open in DjVu Solo, see Supported file formats.

Create a multiple-page DjVu document by adding pages to an existing DjVu or image file. Then save this appended file as a new multiple-page DjVu document.

To create a multiple-page DjVu document:

1. Open an existing DjVu or image file to which you want to add additional pages.

2. If the thumbnails are not displayed, choose Thumbnails > Show Thumbnails.

3. Do one of the following:

- Right-click a thumbnail and choose either Insert Page(s) Before or Insert Page(s) After.

- On the Edit menu, choose Insert Page(s) Before or Insert Page(s) After.

4. In the Open dialog box, navigate to the folder that contains the file you want to insert.

5. Select the file and click Open.

TIP You can insert multiple images by selecting the first file, pressing Ctrl, and then selecting the rest of the files.

6. Choose File > Save As, select a bundled or indirect format for the multiple-page document, and then click OK.

7. In the Save As dialog box, specify a new name for the document, and then click Save. Do not change the default Save in location.

NOTE When you create a multiple-page document from an existing DjVu file, you must save the new document in the same location as the original file.

8. If the multiple-page document contains image files that have not yet been encoded into the DjVu format, the Compression dialog box appears. Specify a resolution and encoding setting, and then click OK.

The new pages appear at the location you requested. If the name of a file you insert into an indirect DjVu document is the same as that of one or more of the pages already in the document, DjVu Solo appends a number at the end of the duplicate name when insert the new pages. For example, if a page named report.djvu already exists, DjVu Solo renames the duplicate page report_0001.djvu.

NOTE When you insert new pages, the page numbers of existing pages are shifted. This can make some hyperlinks point to incorrect locations. To prevent this, when you create hyperlinks, use page names instead of page numbers.
