Leonard, We have to merge the ducument in our project according to the client's requirements, other than Adobe Acrobat 7 or later. And the huge pdf file could be merged by lots of small pdf files. However, even by this way, when the merged file is more than my physical memory, it throws out something like "no enough memory for heap".
We are going to merge a lot of small pdf files to a single one. The itext is the only option for us in our project, Coz we need the API libary, other than an application. cheers, Davy Lee.
