I know this sounds rude, but I say it with the best intentions: "ask your employer to hire another developer, or to grant you a month of time to study Java and iText." If you're a reasonable person, you'll agree that the assignment you received should be done by somebody who knows Java and iText. Only if you're an unreasonable, you'll ask us to do your work in your place. > I have a simple code to merge the files And that code is wrong. You're using PdfWriter/PdfImportedPage instead of PdfCopy! Please read http://manning.com/lowagie2/samplechapter6.pdf and you'll understand that you're throwing away all interactivity when using PdfWriter. You also make assumptions about page size that will result in PDFs with pages that have the wrong size. > If you see I am passing > the file as input parameter. But I am not sure how to sort based on > arguments. What arguments? I've offered you some possible arguments in my previous answer: - file name: that's as simple as sorting String objects, but OBVIOUSLY you need to do it BEFORE you create a list of InputStream objects. - date: which date? a. the date of the file? That's as easy a using the lastModified() method available in the standard Java File class. b. the creation date in the PDF (not always available): this requires parsing the PDF with PdfReader. c. the modification date in the PDF (not always available): this requires parsting the PDF with PdfReader. I would never hire a person who doesn't know the answer to this question. I would teach such a person, but if that person expects me to do that for free, I'd refuse. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
