I have a set of pdf files with links to other pdf files. I would like to
concatenate all of them into one single pdf file. I am able to do this, and
as expected the links are still pointing to the external PDF files. I need
to be able to redirect the links to point to the current page within my
single PDF document that contains the newly merged document.
If you could please let me know how to perform this, either with page number
or named destinations or any other approach, I would really appreciate it,
thank you.
Best Regards,
Amar
Please find attached my code snippet below.
<code>
public static boolean concatenate(String args[]) { //Contains the list of
PDF files, followed by the
//Final
OUTPUT file.
if (args.length < 2) {
System.err.println("arguments: file1 [file2 ...] destfile");
return false;
}
else {
try {
int pageOffset = 0;
ArrayList master = new ArrayList();
int f = 0;
String outFile = args[args.length-1];
Document document = null;
PdfCopy writer = null;
while (f < args.length-1) {
// we create a reader for a certain document
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(args[f]);
// we retrieve the total number of pages
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
List bookmarks = SimpleBookmark.getBookmark(reader);
if (bookmarks != null) {
if (pageOffset != 0)
SimpleBookmark.shiftPageNumbers(bookmarks,
pageOffset, null);
master.addAll(bookmarks);
}
pageOffset += n;
if (f == 0) {
// step 1: creation of a document-object
document = new
Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
// step 2: we create a writer that listens to the
document
writer = new PdfCopy(document, new
FileOutputStream(outFile));
// step 3: we open the document
document.open();
}
// step 4: we add content
PdfImportedPage page;
for (int i = 0; i < n; ) {
++i;
page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
writer.addPage(page);
}
PRAcroForm form = reader.getAcroForm();
if (form != null)
writer.copyAcroForm(reader);
f++;
}
if (!master.isEmpty())
writer.setOutlines(master);
// step 5: we close the document
document.close();
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return true;
}
}
