Peter Thorson commented on PDFBOX-152:
--------------------------------------
Andreas, sorry, I know that this project was just recently moved, and I have
not been following too closely.
The 3 lines of code were all that I needed to add to the code to fix the issue
I was having:
newPage.setCropBox( page.findCropBox() );
newPage.setMediaBox( page.findMediaBox() );
newPage.setRotation( page.findRotation() );
These were actually just copied from a similar function in another part of the
code base. As the description notes, the issue was with 0.7.3 of the code and
fix was located in PDFMergerUtility::appendDocument at line 315 (the section
creating the new pages).
Anyway, I was consulted about recommending a library for merging PDF documents
and recommending PDF Box is difficult given the open merge issues.

> When I merge a Landscape PDF with a Portrait PDF the
> orientation of all the pages in the result is the same
> as whichever PDF was first. For instance,
> PDFMerger landscape.pdf portrait.pdf test.pdf
> results in all pages in test.pdf in landscape format.
>
> I used the daily build of 0.7.3 but also tried
> AppendDoc in 0.7.2 and got the same results.
> Result attached.

> newPage.setCropBox( page.findCropBox() );
