Merging 2 PDF in .Net

Question

Hi,

I have a windows application in which I have a static PDF file(File1). Another PDF file(File2) is created on the runtime. I need to add the contents of the File1 to File2 as a new page of File2. Is there a method in .Net to do this without using any external libraries or softwares.

Regards, Abhishek Jain

Answer 1

I do not know of any method in .net that is capable of doing that. What we used here is abcpdf to merge/append 2 pdf.

If you don't want to go to all of the trouble of re-inventing the wheel, you can try ITextSharp. It's an external library, though. The .NET Framework doesn't have any built-in PDF classes.
