Sample code:

int f = 1;
// we create a reader for a certain document
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(args[f]);
// we retrieve the total number of pagse
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));
Console.WriteLine("PS: " + reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1));
// step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
String destinationFile = args[0];//The first argument is the destination
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 < args.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
{

I would expect this to output a document the same dimensions as the two documents coming (which in my case are the same size). Unfortunately, this is not happening and a white border is being printed around the merged document. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
