Merge PDF files with iTextDotNet and .NET
In the previous post I showed a class to merge PDF files using iText#, but it seems that there’s a better approach using iTextDotNet:
csharp:
using com.lowagie.tools;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] lista = new string[] { "Meijer.pdf", "P330.pdf", "result.pdf" };
concat_pdf.main(lista);
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] lista = new string[] { "Meijer.pdf", "P330.pdf", "result.pdf" };
concat_pdf.main(lista);
}
}
As you can see this is a cleaner and simpler way to merge pdf files. You can download the iTextDotNet .NET Library from this blog or the official Website.

Hello,
Thank for this post, but :
where do you find com.lowagie.tools ?
Is it a part of the textsharp lib ?
I didn’t find.
Thanks.

Hi alex,
this is really nice…
do you have any idea how to merge the TOC (Table of Contentes) into first page while merging pdf files ?
Regards,
Raj.

In the above example where is the merged pdf file?

It is stored in the last element of the array (it only merges two pdf files).

This looks like a great tool. Just what i need for a little tool I am writing at the moment. Sadly, itext.dll ain’t working in my VS2010(vb.net), Vista64bit environment. When I hit debug I always get a “Could not load file or assembly iText.dll or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.”
itextsharp.dll works fine but does not include concat.pdf.

Dennis, have you tried building yourself a new dll from the IText.NET source code ?
