#131 Merge fails to create new file with append

[Anonymous]

I am attempting to merge PDFs into a new file but an error occurs. Apologies if this a misunderstanding on my part.

The help page lists the following info for Merge:

-append ... else create new PDF ...

I run the following command line:

java tool.pdf.Merge -append c:\new.pdf *.pdf

The output below is produced:

append to c:\new.pdfFAILED: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\new.pdf (The system cannot find the file specified)

Environment:
Windows 2000 SP4
Java SE 1.6.0_01-b06
CLASSPATH: c:\Our Local Files\Java\lib\Multivalent20060102.jar

alternatively executing the command below does work, however we have no control over the file name.

java tool.pdf.Merge *.pdf
