Are there any interactive features involved in statement_without_pageNumber.pdf? I mean: does the document has more features when viewed digitally, then when printed on paper? Using PdfCopy will result in a huge file size. PdfSmartCopy will make sure that the background is reused (but it will use more memory and CPU). But if the answer to the above questions is "no", I'd advice to change the order of the different operations (can you wait adding the background to statement_without_pageNumber.pdf?) and use PdfWriter and PdfImportedPage to create the final document. Of course: if you can't wait to add the background, you'd need to find a way to make sure it's not added X times instead of only once. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
