Desn't CopyPdf.java work? It's a general purpose appender that uses PdfCopy.java.

Re: [iText-questions] serious problem concatenating pdfs together
Paulo, Thanks for your prompt reply. I am now trying to write a general purpose pdf appender using PdfCopy.java which will will allow an abitrary number of pdf appends. However I'm having trouble with 'PdfCopy.getImportedPage'. It doesn't seem to work after the first reader. I'm looking at the source now and trying to figure it out. Do I need to reset or increment something inbetween readers? Anyone have any insight into this? Thanks! Sean Langford Paulo Soares wrote: It may be a problem of too many nested templates.

Here the pages are copied without using templates and you get the links and fields as a bonus.

RE: [iText-questions] serious problem concatenating pdfs together
It may be a problem of too many nested templates. Each time a concat is made each page is inserted as a template. If you have two concats than you'll have a template inside a template and so on. Did you try with CopyPdf.java? Here the pages are copied without using templates and you get the links and fields as a bonus.
