>>Hi Charles,

>>I used the COM interface with Adobe to merge PDFs in the past. I am about to face this issue of merging PDFs in .NET and was wondering about how to do it. Thanks for your post here. One question... I am unfamiliar with the iTextSharper you mentioned. Is this part of the .NET framework or is it a third-party tool?

>This is a real .NET assembly and therefore to my way of thinking is waaaay better to use than any COM interface. I use it to fill out forms and it is very powerful there. I have a data with a couple hundred pieces of information. I have 40 or so forms to fill. I can throw all the data at all the forms and if the field isn't on the form it just gets ignored, so I can have one form filling engine that receives a list of selected forms and fills them in.
