Method Detail

concatPDFs

public static void concatPDFs(List<InputStream> streamOfPDFFiles,
                              OutputStream outputStream,
                              boolean paginate)

Concatenates the list of streamOfPDFFiles into one PDF document that can be accessed via outputStream. If paginate is true it adds page numbering to the bottom right of each PDF page.

This method creates a default iText Document object and passes it into concatPDFs(List, OutputStream, Document, boolean) method

Parameters:

streamOfPDFFiles -

outputStream -

paginate -

concatPDFs

public static void concatPDFs(List<InputStream> streamOfPDFFiles,
                              OutputStream outputStream,
                              com.lowagie.text.Document document,
                              boolean paginate)

Concatenates a list of streamOfPDFFiles into one PDF document that can be accessed through the outputStream.

The document arg is intended to give you control over the page size and margins by allowing you to construct a document of your own parameters. Other than that, it behaves the same as the concatPDFs method without the document arg

To use this version of the method, create a new Document and pass it in like this:

        com.lowagie.text.Document doc = new com.lowagie.text.Document(com.lowagie.text.PageSize.LETTER, 0.0F, 0.0F,0.0F,0.0F);
        ERPDFMerge.concatPDFs(pdfsToCombine, output, doc, true);

That creates a letter sized (8.5 in x 11 in) page with no margin (suitable for concatinating 8.5x11 pdfs that already have their margins set.

Parameters:

streamOfPDFFiles -

outputStream -

document -

paginate -
