Merge PDF files

gorgavel

I am trying to merge two files (in1 and in2) and create a new file (ut1=outfile) and I have NO luck.
Se coding example and error message below.

Is there anyone who had success with the Merge function in Bullzip.PdfWriter?

// test
in1 := 'C:\Faktura1.pdf';
in2 := 'C:\default2.pdf';
ut1 := 'C:\Faktura2.pdf';
Datetime := 2000;
Printer := Pdfmerge.DefaultPrinterName();
ComPdfSet := ComPdfSet.ComPdfSettings;
ComPdfSet.SetValue('MergeFile', in1 + '|' + in2);
filin := filin.UploadUtility;
PDFInstans := Pdfmerge.PdfUtil();
Pdfmerge.Merge(ComPdfSet,ut1,Printer,Datetime);

Think you need this

// Merge with other PDF files.
    pdfSettings.SetValue('MergeFile', mergeBeforeFileName + '|.|' + mergeAfterFileName);

The information is on the pdf printer website...

Check the sample code and see what might be missing

It looks like the solution provided is almost legit, but it merges two documents with a blank page between them. And it's like the common thing, vast interface-based PDF editors do so in that fashion as well and I don't know why does anybody still figured out this is not supposed to be like that. I do so with this tool https://ds11.pdffiller.com which is paid to use but has a free trial period long enough to sort out things with all the files before it ends

It's quite difficult to find the problem in code. Maybe it'd be better to ask people, who're working with it. And in case you're not in the IT sphere, you can find some addtional services to help you. To merge 2 files you can use this tool https://pdfliner.com/ds_11_form unfortunately you'll have to pay for it, but prices're not so high
