Merging multiple PDFs using iTextSharp in c#.net
Well i'm trying to merge multiple PDFs in to one.
I gives no errors while compiling. I tried to merge the docs first but that went wrong because I'm working with tables.
This is the asp.net code-behind
if (Button.Equals("PreviewWord")) {
String eventTemplate = Server.MapPath("/ERAS/Badges/Template/EventTemp" + EventName + ".doc");
String SinglePreview = Server.MapPath("/ERAS/Badges/Template/PreviewSingle" + EventName + ".doc");
String PDFPreview = Server.MapPath("/ERAS/Badges/Template/PDFPreviewSingle" + EventName + ".pdf");
String previewPDFs = Server.MapPath("/ERAS/Badges/Template/PreviewPDFs" + EventName + ".pdf");
if (System.IO.File.Exists((String)eventTemplate))
{
if (vulGegevensIn == true)
{
//This creates a Worddocument and fills in names etc from database
CreateWordDocument(vulGegevensIn, eventTemplate, SinglePreview, false);
//This saves the SinglePreview.doc as a PDF @param place of PDFPreview
CreatePDF(SinglePreview, PDFPreview);
//Trying to merge
String[] previewsSmall=new String[1];
previewsSmall[0] = PDFPreview;
PDFMergenITextSharp.MergeFiles(previewPDFs, previewsSmall);
}
// merge PDFs here...........................;
//here
//no here//
//...
} }
This is the PDFMergenITextSharpClass
public static class PDFMergenITextSharp {
public static void MergeFiles(string destinationFile, string[] sourceFiles)
{
try
{
int f = 0;
// we create a reader for a certain document
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(sourceFiles[f]);
// we retrieve the total number of pages
int n = reader.NumberOfPages;
//Console.WriteLine("There are " + n + " pages in the original file.");
// step 1: creation of a document-object
Document document = new Document(reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1));
// step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(destinationFile, FileMode.Create));
// step 3: we open the document
document.Open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
PdfImportedPage page;
int rotation;
// step 4: we add content
while (f < sourceFiles.Length)
{
int i = 0;
while (i < n)
{
i++;
document.SetPageSize(reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(i));
document.NewPage();
page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, i);
rotation = reader.GetPageRotation(i);
if (rotation == 90 || rotation == 270)
{
cb.AddTemplate(page, 0, -1f, 1f, 0, 0, reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(i).Height);
}
else
{
cb.AddTemplate(page, 1f, 0, 0, 1f, 0, 0);
}
//Console.WriteLine("Processed page " + i);
}
f++;
if (f < sourceFiles.Length)
{
reader = new PdfReader(sourceFiles[f]);
// we retrieve the total number of pages
n = reader.NumberOfPages;
//Console.WriteLine("There are " + n + " pages in the original file.");
}
}
// step 5: we close the document
document.Close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
string strOb = e.Message;
}
}
public static int CountPageNo(string strFileName)
{
// we create a reader for a certain document
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(strFileName);
// we retrieve the total number of pages
return reader.NumberOfPages;
}
}
I found the answer:
Instead of the 2nd Method, add more files to the first array of input files.
public static void CombineMultiplePDFs(string[] fileNames, string outFile)
{
// step 1: creation of a document-object
Document document = new Document();
// step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
PdfCopy writer = new PdfCopy(document, new FileStream(outFile, FileMode.Create));
if (writer == null)
{
return;
}
// step 3: we open the document
document.Open();
foreach (string fileName in fileNames)
{
// we create a reader for a certain document
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(fileName);
reader.ConsolidateNamedDestinations();
// step 4: we add content
for (int i = 1; i <= reader.NumberOfPages; i++)
{
PdfImportedPage page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, i);
writer.AddPage(page);
}
PRAcroForm form = reader.AcroForm;
if (form != null)
{
writer.CopyAcroForm(reader);
}
reader.Close();
}
// step 5: we close the document and writer
writer.Close();
document.Close();
}
I found a very nice solution on this site : http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenp/archive/2014/01/10/simple-merging-of-pdf-documents-with-itextsharp-5-4-5.aspx
I update the method in this mode :
public static bool MergePDFs(IEnumerable<string> fileNames, string targetPdf)
{
bool merged = true;
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(targetPdf, FileMode.Create))
{
Document document = new Document();
PdfCopy pdf = new PdfCopy(document, stream);
PdfReader reader = null;
try
{
document.Open();
foreach (string file in fileNames)
{
reader = new PdfReader(file);
pdf.AddDocument(reader);
reader.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
merged = false;
if (reader != null)
{
reader.Close();
}
}
finally
{
if (document != null)
{
document.Close();
}
}
}
return merged;
}
在Itextsharp中合并PDF的代码
public static void Merge(List<String> InFiles, String OutFile)
{
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(OutFile, FileMode.Create))
using (Document doc = new Document())
using (PdfCopy pdf = new PdfCopy(doc, stream))
{
doc.Open();
PdfReader reader = null;
PdfImportedPage page = null;
//fixed typo
InFiles.ForEach(file =>
{
reader = new PdfReader(file);
for (int i = 0; i < reader.NumberOfPages; i++)
{
page = pdf.GetImportedPage(reader, i + 1);
pdf.AddPage(page);
}
pdf.FreeReader(reader);
reader.Close();
File.Delete(file);
});
}
