I have searched the archives on this topic but did not really come across an answer. Basically I am wondering how to embed one PDF into another---optionally specifying the page # of the target PDF file just incase the target is a multi-page document. 1) One way that I can think of doing is to parse the target for the required objects and merge the required objects in the host PDF file---this approach needs a parser. 2) Second is to use Reference XObjects. I have read that external references cause problems in Reader. So the approach would be to first embed the entire target PDF as an Embedded FileStream in the host PDF. Then we can specify the embedded streams's name in the /F entry in the Reference XObject's dictionary. This way one may not have to parse the target PDF file and read the target in its entirety. The question is would approach 2) work? I am writing a PDF library and wondering if the approach would work before I code it up. Salman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
