    {

        PdfDocument pdfA = new PdfDocument(inputPathPdfA);
        // The owner's password is required to merge encrypted PDFs
        PdfDocument pdfB = new PdfDocument(inputPathPdfB, password);

        // Merge the two documents
        MergeDocument document = MergeDocument.Merge(pdfA, pdfB);

        // Append an additional document

Remarks

This is the primary class used to merge or append entire PDF documents or certain pages from existing documents. The merge document can be output to any object derived from the Stream class that supports writing and can easily be integrated with ASP.NET to stream the document to Internet Information Server's HTTP output stream.
