Thats a great start. I'm on CF 7 so didn't install iText but was able to get
your code to work fine and display the number of pages.
I then created an object to the concat_pdf class and get it to return
methods. I can call all methods except main which is the one I want. Error
says The selected method main was not found.But a cfdump of the object lists
the method main...
Here's the code:
<cfscript>
pdfObject = createObject("java","com.lowagie.tools.concat_pdf");
pdfObject.main("1.pdf 2.pdf result.pdf");
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#pdfObject#">
Cheers,
Sam
