Merge PDF in COM/ActiveX

How to Merge PDF Files

Below are the steps and sample code to merge PDF files with and without options.

Steps to Merge PDFs

1. Create a Document object and Load the first PDF.
2. Append the second PDF.
3. Output the Document to the Browser.

Sample code - ASP

Dim MyDocument
Set MyDocument = Server.CreateObject("DynamicPDF.Document")

MyDocument.LoadPdf Server.MapPath("DocumentA.pdf")
MyDocument.AppendPdf Server.MapPath("DocumentB.pdf")

MyDocument.DrawToWeb

If you have additional PDFs to merge, you can append them by calling the Append method.

Sample Code with Append - ASP

Dim MyDocument
Set MyDocument = Server.CreateObject("DynamicPDF.Document")
MyDocument.LoadPdf Server.MapPath("doc-a.pdf")

MyDocument.AppendPdf Server.MapPath("doc-b.pdf"), 1, 2
MyDocument.AppendPdf Server.MapPath("doc-c.pdf")

MyDocument.DrawToWeb

Specifying The Type of Content to Be Merged

1. If you would like to specify different options, then create a MergeOptions object.
2. Modify the options as per requirement. In the example, the Outlines is set to false.
3. Pass the MergeOptions object into the AppendPdf method.

Sample Code for MergeOptions - ASP

Dim MgOptions
Set MgOptions = Server.CreateObject( "DynamicPDF.MergeOptions" )
MgOptions.Outlines = False

MyDocument.AppendPdf "DocumentC.pdf",  ,  ,  MgOptions
