Hate to bring this up again, but I think I'm facing the same issue.
The following method accepts a List of filenames, and then
concatenates them to a single document.
I have verified that each of the individual docs contain Bookmarks by
opening them in Adobe Reader. In the final doc, they're missing.
What am I missing?
I lifted 99% of the code from page 67 of the book.
public static void concatenateForms( List<String> fileNames, File
outputFile )
{
if ( outputFile != null && fileNames != null &&
fileNames.size() > 0 )
{
try
{
PdfCopyFields target = new PdfCopyFields(new
FileOutputStream(outputFile));
for (String f : fileNames)
{
log.info("Concatenating " + f + " to final document "
+ outputFile.getAbsolutePath());
target.addDocument(new PdfReader(f));
}
target.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe)
{
fnfe.printStackTrace();
}
catch (DocumentException de)
{
de.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
else
{
log.error("No documents to concatenate");
}
}

Ah, you beat me to it!
I just found section 2.2.7 in the iText book, which led me to the
fairly clean code below.
Here was my solution:
try {
// Set up article file name and "merged" name...
String mergeFileName = articleFileName.replaceFirst(".pdf
$",
".merged.pdf");
// New attempt...
PdfCopyFields mergedCopy = new PdfCopyFields(new
FileOutputStream(mergeFileName));
mergedCopy.addDocument(new
PdfReader(coverPdfOutputStream.toByteArray()));
mergedCopy.addDocument(new PdfReader(articleFileName));
mergedCopy.close();
Thanks for the response!
Good list.

It depends on your workflow, but my first answer would be:
use PdfCopy to concatenate the end result.
