John Hewson closed PDFBOX-369.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
We'll take a patch for this, but it's not something we're going to build.
> Create a master PDF file as a container for other PDF files

> Key: PDFBOX-369
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-369
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Utilities
> Reporter: Ken Weinert
> Priority: Minor
>
> I have had the occasion to produce a Master PDF file from other PDF files.
> In my particular case, it is a catalog that is distributed as a directory
> hierarchy of PDF files. The master pdf has file references to the other
> external files.
> The proposed tool would have to operate in two modes, I think. 1) you have
> an existing setup like I described above and the tool would create one PDF
> file that used embedded file streams instead of external links; 2) You have a
> directory/hierarchy of PDF files and you essentially create a Table of
> Contents from the existing files as the master PDF and embed the files as
> streams into the master.
> Other refinements could be added - something similiar to
> http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference.pdf where there is
> some explanatory text in the main document and the embedded documents show up
> in a TOC.
