I have a project where I am trying to combine the output of a number of different process into a single PDF document. I need to convert a series of documents from html to PDF, then add a few PDF documents from other sources, and finally create a series of links and bookmarks from the converted html documents to the pre-existing PDF files.
At this point, I have tried creating the PDF and converting html documents into it. This works fine, and I have access to the HTML conversion results structure. So far so good. However, when I try to add the existing PDF files, I run into trouble.
I have tried saving the html converted PDF, then merging, then using the html conversion results on the merged document to create the links- no errors are thrown, but the resulting PDF cannot be read. I have also tried inserting pages from the pre-existing pdf files into the working pdf from the conversion process. This throws an error suggesting use of cloning. From what I have read in the forums, inserting pages is not going to work in this way.
My question: is there some way to insert pre-existing PDF documents into a PDF while using the htmltopdf conversion engine?

Hi,
Yes. Ultimately you have to use Merge to merge everything. However before Merge you can use Split to "extract" a single page from an existing PDF file --- you can not add a PdfPage from PdfDocument A into PdfDocument B directly. However you can use Split on PdfDocument A to get a PdfDocument C that contains a single PdfPage (or several continuous pages), then call Merge to merge PdfDocument B with PdfDocument C.
Thanks!
