Create a master PDF file as a container for other PDF files
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-369
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-369
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Utilities
Reporter: Ken Weinert
Priority: Minor
I have had the occasion to produce a Master PDF file from other PDF files.
In my particular case, it is a catalog that is distributed as a directory
hierarchy of PDF files. The master pdf has file references to the other
external files.
The proposed tool would have to operate in two modes, I think. 1) you have an
existing setup like I described above and the tool would create one PDF file
that used embedded file streams instead of external links; 2) You have a
directory/hierarchy of PDF files and you essentially create a Table of Contents
from the existing files as the master PDF and embed the files as streams into
the master.
Other refinements could be added - something similiar to
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference.pdf where there is some
explanatory text in the main document and the embedded documents show up in a
TOC.
