hi cyberfrog

unfortunately, this is not possible...
you have to create the complete CELL in your loop and append it afterwards using the -fa option...
note: you could use the -Lc option to create the column labels at write-time...

thanks for your comments, mark

so far, we never ran into this problem...

a few thoughts
1) PDFAPP only creates the input to GHOSTSCRIPT and nothing else; in particular, it does not open/change/etc the PDF files...
2) hence, it all depends on how your GS version is handling your PDFs, which might be in a compressed format (just a guess)...

here's an example, which shows a reasonably sized output

     surf(peaks(64));
     print -dpdf -r600 ex_01.pdf;
     print -dpdf -r600 ex_02.pdf;
     pdfapp foo ex_01.pdf ex_02.pdf;
%{
PDFAPP> F:\usr\matlab\TMP\fex\ags\test\foo.pdf
    1 > F:\usr\matlab\TMP\fex\ags\test\ex_01.pdf
    2 > F:\usr\matlab\TMP\fex\ags\test\ex_02.pdf
PDFAPP> F:\usr\matlab\TMP\fex\ags\test\foo.pdf [260 kb]
%}
     ls -latr *.pdf
%{
-rw---a 133978 6-21-2010 9:42p ex_01.pdf
-rw---a 133978 6-21-2010 9:42p ex_02.pdf
-rw---a 266557 6-21-2010 9:43p foo.pdf
%}
     d=dir('ex_*.pdf');
     ds=sum([d.bytes])
% ds = 267956
% thus, in this case, the output is even slightly smaller...

please, remove this completely useless submission...
