Merging PDFs using iText

In iText there is a PDFMerger class that can be used for merging PDFs. Using this class you can merge a number of existing documents into one.

Following Java program shows how two PDF documents can be merged using iText.

import java.io.IOException;
import com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfDocument;
import com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.itextpdf.kernel.utils.PdfMerger;

public class MergePDF {
  public static final String SRC_PDF1 = "F://knpcode//PDF1.pdf";
  public static final String SRC_PDF2 = "F://knpcode//PDF2.pdf";
  public static final String MERGED_PDF = "F://knpcode//result//Merged.pdf";
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
    PdfDocument pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(MERGED_PDF));               
    PdfMerger merger = new PdfMerger(pdfDoc);
    PdfDocument PDF1 = new PdfDocument(new PdfReader(SRC_PDF1));
    PdfDocument PDF2 = new PdfDocument(new PdfReader(SRC_PDF2));
    merger.merge(PDF1, 1, PDF1.getNumberOfPages());
    merger.merge(PDF2, 1, PDF2.getNumberOfPages());
	       
    PDF1.close();
    PDF2.close();
    pdfDoc.close();
  }
}
