OK, that's one problem out of the way. Depending on the nature of the documents you are merging, you may want to use PdfSmartCopy instead of PdfCopy, but that's explained in chapter 6 too. > For the pagination, I saw that it's no possible by the PdfCopy. Where did you see that? If you have read chapter 6, you have overlooked this part (copy/paste from the ebook): ADDING CONTENT WITH PDFCOPY In previous sections, I explained that PdfImportedPage is a read-only subclass of PdfTemplate. You can't add any content to an imported page. This wasn't a big deal when using imported pages with PdfWriter and PdfStamper because we could easily add content over or under the imported page. When using PdfCopy, it would be interesting if we could somehow add extra content too. For instance, it would be interesting if we could add a "page X of Y" footer that reflects the new page numbers. Listing 6.22 shows how to achieve this. > Is there an way to do it ? Yes, and listing 6.22 shows how. > Hack the stream after ? No, certainly not! Too error prone as a solution. > Or recreate a reader and put pagination ? That's another option explained in chapter 6. You could create the merged PDF in memory first, and then add page numbers with PdfStamper. The best solution depends on the nature of the documents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
