Merging or Binding a PDF file to PDF extract

Sai Vikram

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum and is not a techi :(

I need some advise so that I can check with my Dev team on an enhancement.

Current process is that we generate a PDF report and share it with a print vendor for printing. Currently our PDF extract has two components,

1. Generic - Client specific

2. Data derived from the DB.

Once we generate the documents and if the client wants us to make some changes in the generic pages, we have to regenerate the entire set of documents which is resource intensive and affects SLAs.

In this scenario,

>> Is it possible to have the generic part as an attachment in DB and attach it to the derived data when we send it to the print vendor.

With this process, we need not wait for the client to provide the generic data instead we can go ahead and work on the DB data verification. Once it is good to go, we can attach this generic data and send it to the print vendor as a single document.

Print vendor is not comfortable with merging two files and printing it as a single document. Please accept my sincere apologies if the scenario explained is not clear, will respond to the questions posted clearly.

Thanks in advance.

I just found some code sample about PDF processing.
For merging PDF file, please refer to this C# PDF merge sample code.
And for extract PDF page, this C# PDF page extraction guide may help you.

I read your description but I am not sure yet about what you are looking to accomplish. But based on the subject of your post, you are trying to merge two PDF files. Is this correct?
If yes, are you looking for and end user application to merge two PDF files? Or you want to develop your own application using a programming library?
I know an end-user application named ePrint (from leadtools) that you can use to merge your PDF files into one PDF document. Note that It's a virtual printer driver. You can find more information here:
