Inserting contents of another PDF

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am constructing a PDF using a range of text / images / shapes - all is fine.
As part of the new PDF I also need to grab the contents of another PDF, which contain some floor plans, and add them into the one I am current constructing. Ideally I'd also want to be able to resize those contents so I could in theory put 3 A4 PDFs onto one A4 page in my new PDF.

I have had a look through the document / page functions but not sure how I achieve what I need to do?

Many Thanks

	So it looks like I will need to finalise and save the PDF I am constructing programatically, and then insert the pages from the existing PDFs into that? Perhaps I will make blank page placeholders in the PDF I am creating programatically, then I can replace those pages when I do the extract.
