MergeDocuments Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic

These methods allow you to merge several PDF documents at once. Please read more details about the PDF/A compliance of the resulting document below.

Overload List

Overload	Description
MergeDocuments(String[],String)	Merge several PDF documents according to their file paths stored in the input parameter. All pages of the source documents are cloned one by one to the destination document in that order how they are stored in the input parameter. The resulting PDF document is saved to a file path you have specified. If the specified file already exists, it will be overwritten. If the first PDF document in the list (specified by the first object in the input parameter) is PDF/A compliant, the resulting document will also be PDF/A compliant. The conformance level and version of the merged document will be PDF/A-1b regardless of the original conformance of the first source document. Just to inform you, that the toolkit offers the adaptive file caching mechanism to significantly reduce memory usage while merging large documents. The feature is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode by default.
MergeDocuments(GdPicturePDF[])	Merges several PDF documents loaded within the array of the GdPicturePDF objects. The resulting PDF document is created and stored within the new GdPicturePDF object as well. If the first PDF document in the list (stored in the first GdPicturePDF object in the input parameter) is PDF/A compliant, the resulting document will also be PDF/A compliant. The conformance level and version of the merged document will be PDF/A-1b regardless of the original conformance of the first source document. Just to inform you, that the toolkit offers the adaptive file caching mechanism to significantly reduce memory usage while merging large documents. The feature is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode by default.
MergeDocuments(GdPicturePDF[],PdfDocumentMergingOptions)	Merges several PDF documents loaded within the array of the GdPicturePDF objects. The resulting PDF document is created and stored within the new GdPicturePDF object as well. Using this method you can additionally select preferred merging options. If the first PDF document in the list (stored in the first GdPicturePDF object in the input parameter) is PDF/A compliant, the resulting document will also be PDF/A compliant. The conformance level and version of the merged document will be PDF/A-1b regardless of the original conformance of the first source document. Just to inform you, that the toolkit offers the adaptive file caching mechanism to significantly reduce memory usage while merging large documents. The feature is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode by default.

MergeDocuments(GdPicturePDF[],PdfDocumentMergingOptions)

Merges several PDF documents loaded within the array of the GdPicturePDF objects. The resulting PDF document is created and stored within the new GdPicturePDF object as well. Using this method you can additionally select preferred merging options.
