How to merge two PDF files into one in Java?
56
I want to merge many PDF files into one using PDFBox and this is what I've done:
PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
for (String pdfFile: pdfFiles) {
PDDocument part = PDDocument.load(pdfFile);
List<PDPage> list = part.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
for (PDPage page: list) {
document.addPage(page);
}
part.close();
}
document.save("merged.pdf");
document.close();
Where pdfFiles is an ArrayList<String> containing all the PDF files.
When I'm running the above, I'm always getting:
org.apache.pdfbox.exceptions.COSVisitorException: Bad file descriptor
Am I doing something wrong? Is there any other way of doing it?

Somebody pointed out iText [java-x.blogspot.com/2006/11/merge-pdf-files-with-itext.html] and then deleted the answer. It worked and thanks for that.

Why not use the PDFMergerUtility of pdfbox?
PDFMergerUtility ut = new PDFMergerUtility();
ut.addSource(...);
ut.addSource(...);
ut.addSource(...);
ut.setDestinationFileName(...);
ut.mergeDocuments();

A quick Google search returned this bug: "Bad file descriptor while saving a document w. imported PDFs".
It looks like you need to keep the PDFs to be merged open, until after you have saved and closed the combined PDF.

The question clearly is tagged pdfbox. You present a solution for itext. Thus, your answer is off-topic. (That been said, your iText solution also is a bad one which iText developers usually recommend against as it drops interactive features and ignores rotation and page sizes.)

In addition iText comes with a nasty license.

This example is named IncorrectExample because this is not how you wou typically solve the problem of rotating pages, nor of merging documents. The correct way is NOT to use Document / PdfWriter, but to use PdfStamper, PdfCopy or PdfSmartCopy. However: in the question mentioned above, the circumstances are very particular and using this example in those circumstances is justified: developers.itextpdf.com/examples/merging-pdf-documents-itext5/…

Multiple pdf merged method using org.apache.pdfbox:
public void mergePDFFiles(List<File> files,
String mergedFileName) {
try {
PDFMergerUtility pdfmerger = new PDFMergerUtility();
for (File file : files) {
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(file);
pdfmerger.setDestinationFileName(mergedFileName);
pdfmerger.addSource(file);
pdfmerger.mergeDocuments(MemoryUsageSetting.setupTempFileOnly());
document.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("Error to merge files. Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
From main program, call mergePDFFiles method using list of files and target file name.
String mergedFileName = "Merged.pdf";
mergePDFFiles(files, mergedFileName);
After calling mergePDFFiles, load merged file
File mergedFile = new File(mergedFileName);

If you want to combine two files where one overlays the other (example: document A is a template and document B has the text you want to put on the template), this works:
after creating "doc", you want to write your template (templateFile) on top of that -
PDDocument watermarkDoc = PDDocument.load(getServletContext()
.getRealPath(templateFile));
Overlay overlay = new Overlay();
overlay.overlay(watermarkDoc, doc);

Using iText (existing PDF in bytes)
public static byte mergePDF(List<byte> pdfFilesAsByteArray) throws DocumentException, IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Document document = null;
PdfCopy writer = null;
for (byte pdfByteArray : pdfFilesAsByteArray) {
try {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfByteArray);
int numberOfPages = reader.getNumberOfPages();
if (document == null) {
document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
writer = new PdfCopy(document, outStream); // new
document.open();
}
PdfImportedPage page;
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfPages;) {
++i;
page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
writer.addPage(page);
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
document.close();
outStream.close();
return outStream.toByteArray();
}

The OP quite clearly said "I want to merge many PDF files into one using PDFBox". iText is not PDFBox.

A quick Google search returned this bug: "Bad file descriptor while saving a document w. imported PDFs".
It looks like you need to keep the PDFs to be merged open, until after you have saved and closed the combined PDF.

Even though the post was two years old, this solved the problem. You have to keep them open!

The question clearly is tagged pdfbox. You present a solution for itext. Thus, your answer is off-topic. (That been said, your iText solution also is a bad one which iText developers usually recommend against as it drops interactive features and ignores rotation and page sizes.)

This example is named IncorrectExample because this is not how you wou typically solve the problem of rotating pages, nor of merging documents. The correct way is NOT to use Document / PdfWriter, but to use PdfStamper, PdfCopy or PdfSmartCopy. However: in the question mentioned above, the circumstances are very particular and using this example in those circumstances is justified: developers.itextpdf.com/examples/merging-pdf-documents-itext5/…

From main program, call mergePDFFiles method using list of files and target file name.
String mergedFileName = "Merged.pdf";

After calling mergePDFFiles, load merged file
File mergedFile = new File(mergedFileName);

} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("Error to merge files. Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
From main program, call mergePDFFiles method using list of files and target file name.
String mergedFileName = "Merged.pdf";
mergePDFFiles(files, mergedFileName);
After calling mergePDFFiles, load merged file
File mergedFile = new File(mergedFileName);

If you want to combine two files where one overlays the other (example: document A is a template and document B has the text you want to put on the template), this works:
after creating "doc", you want to write your template (templateFile) on top of that -
PDDocument watermarkDoc = PDDocument.load(getServletContext()
.getRealPath(templateFile));
Overlay overlay = new Overlay();
overlay.overlay(watermarkDoc, doc);

Using iText (existing PDF in bytes)

catch (Exception e) {

The OP quite clearly said "I want to merge many PDF files into one using PDFBox". iText is not PDFBox.

Somebody pointed out iText [java-x.blogspot.com/2006/11/merge-pdf-files-with-itext.html] and then deleted the answer. It worked and thanks for that.
