Second try: I have many different Pdfs, lets say chapters from a book. I want to put them together into one Pdf. Furthermore I want to create a table of contents.
The final Pdf exists of a table of contents and all chapters of the book. The table of contents should have links to the particular chapter. Now the code (I haven´t considered the links yet): In the first step I create the table of contents. I saved the names of the chapters in one array (called "namesOfPages"). Creating the table of contents works without problems. In the second step I want to append each Pdf (each chapter of the book) to the final Pdf. When I open the final Pdf (called "all.pdf") it contains only the chapter, not the table of contents. When I uncomment the second step the final Pdf contains the table of content. Because of this I think, that the table of contents will be overwritten. You understand? Now I want to know, what I can to, to get this two parts (table of contents and chapters) into one Pdf. Thanks for help! //--------------------------FIRST STEP---------------------------------- String outFile = OUTPUT_FILE; Document document = new Document(); PdfWriter writer2 = null; writer2.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\jergi\\Desktop\\pdf\all.pdf")); document.open(); Paragraph tx = new Paragraph("TABLE OF CONTENTS"); document.add(tx); while(namesOfPages[w] != null) { pagenumber = pagenumber + numberOfPages[w]; Paragraph txx = new Paragraph(namesOfPages[w] + "\t" + pagenumber); document.add(txx); w++; } document.close(); //--------------------------SECOND STEP----------------------------------- //path to the pdf which will be copied next.
