Hi,
I am fairly new to using PDFBOX (using the .net version). Everything
seems to be going very well on my project, however whenever we append
documents using the PDFPDFMergerUtility our merged PDF document is quite
large and contains duplicate resources.
After the merged PDF is created, when opened and "File -> Save As" is
selected the following messages are received at the bottom of the screen:
"Consolidating duplicate Fonts"
After saving the PDF it is approximately half the size that it was merged
out of PDFbox.
Here is a consolidated look at our code:
Private Function MergePdfFiles(ByVal pdfFileList As List(Of String), _
ByVal outputFileFullName As String) As
Boolean
Dim result As Boolean = False
Dim fileCount As Integer = pdfFileList.Count
Dim iPDF As New PDDocument
Dim oPDF As New PDDocument
Dim catalogFlag As Boolean = False
Dim version As Decimal = 1.8
If fileCount> 1 Then
Try
'Instantiate an instance of Pdf Merger Utility
Dim oPDFmerger As PDFMergerUtility = New PDFMergerUtility
With oPDFmerger
'Set output destination
oPDFmerger.setDestinationFileName(outputFileFullName)
'Looping thru the file list and add source to the
merger
For i As Integer = 0 To fileCount - 1 Step 1
iPDF = PDDocument.load(pdfFileList(i))
oPDFmerger.appendDocument(oPDF, iPDF)
Next i
oPDFmerger.mergeDocuments()
'Merge the documents
result = True
End With
oPDF.save(outputFileFullName)
Catch ex As Exception
WriteToLog("MergePDFFile("& outputFileFullName& "): "&
ex.Message)
Return False
End Try
End If
Return result
End Function
