CF7 iText to Merge PDFs - Examples?

[David G]

I'm in CF7 and want to merge two PDFs.

I've been doing some reading, and it seems that the cfDocument tag uses the
iText libraries under the hood.  If so, does that mean they're already
installed because  my CF7 has cfDocument?

If I already have the iText libraries, does anyone have any example
ColdFusion code for merging two PDFs?

Yes. Though it is an older version of iText. The usual location is something 
like:
c:\CFusionMX7\lib\iText.jar

.. or for the smart/lazy, there are some utility classes in the iText.jar for 
stuff like concatenation, watermarking, etc. At least in the CF8 version.
