Something else must be going on. Last month I scanned some old magazines and
used iTextSharp to reorganize and merge the pages. One of the files ended up
with 300 pages without any problem. I've noticed that you are not using
PdfCopy. Using PdfWriter over PdfWriter may nest xobjects too deep and go over
the PDF implementation limit of 28.

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Corrupt PDF after merging many pages
I split my 124 page PDF in 4 31-page PDF files. Each file opens fine,
leading me to believe iTextSharp can't handle merging many individual
files. When split into 2 of 62-pages, both were corrupt.

That's pretty basic, source wise.
I can't help but wonder if the problem is with one of the images rather
than the file size. I suggest a "divide & conquer" approach (lessons
from qsort):
Build two files each with half of the images from the failed PDF.
Open them, one should have the same issue. That's your new "failed
PDF".
Build two files each with half of the images from the failed PDF.
Open them, one should have the same issue. That's your new "failed

Build two files each with half of the images from the failed PDF.
Open them, one should have the same issue. That's your new "failed

...until you have two files with one image each. This way you can test
log2(n) files rather than n files. I'm not possitive, but I'd wager a
beer on it.
