If you're doing that type of volume - I would strongly recommend that you invest in commercial-grade solutions for document merging, many of which also support PDF optimization options. iText is a great product, but there are some things it simply doesn't do well - large volume document assembl

PDFReader does NOT read the entire PDF into memory! It only reads what it needs to (aka "on demand, random access"). PDFReader can do a memory stream, but you need the ENTIRE file in memory in that case, since it needs random access. If you have the memory, then clearly using memory for temp v

I think you misunderstood. The images are TIF or PNG files. The pages are NOT images. I need to create 60,000 PDFs and concatenate 30,000 of them together into a single "print" file. priority 1 is to avoid creating the pdf content for a given account twice. priority 2 is to create the smalles

Using file or memory is something that only you can evaluate based on your configuration, type of PDF, available memory, etc. It's always a tradeof. I'm a great fan of dual passes but if you're worried about performance you should try to do it in a single pass. In generic terms PdfReader loads

This is not about general coding philosophy or the merits of PDFs. I am in an iText forum specifically because I need to produce a PDF. I always evaluate what the customers needs and wants are to produce the proper output. If I didn't want a PDF, I wouldn't be here. End of story. In my opinion

Hi, Thanks, Mr. Rosenthol. I do appreciate your Sunday early-morning response. By the way, I did know who you are. However, I still wish that there would be a way to make Photoshop understand my curves as a vector graphics file and allow me to paste as a Path. And I do not want to use WMF/EMF, si
