Splitting PDF documents

[ebbiTeam]

Hello,

is there any chance to get particular pages of a loaded pdf document in a memorystream or at least in a file.
The documentation mentions "...PDF creation, PDF edition, split, merge, compress..." and I can't find a functionallity like this.
In our implementation we need to merge single pages of a document and save them in their original state...so searchable pdfs should be preserved.
For this reason the image rasterization process is not suitable.
Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?

Best regards

Hi Tobias,

Easy to do. You need to use the clone method. Here a snippet:

Code: Select all

      Dim src_pdf As New GdPicturePDF
      Dim new_pdf As New GdPicturePDF

      src_pdf.SetLicenseNumber("XXX")

      src_pdf.LoadFromFile("C:\GdPicture.NET8.pdf", False)
      new_pdf.NewPDF()
      new_pdf.ClonePage(src_pdf, 10)

      Dim memory_stream As New IO.MemoryStream
      new_pdf.SaveToStream(memory_stream)'save the pdf to stream
      new_pdf.SaveToFile("c:\dumppage.pdf") 'save the pdf to file

let me know if you need more information.
