Gios PDF Splitter and Merger

Gios PDF Splitter and Merger - The Code Project - C# Programming

"Introduction
After the success of the Gios PDF .NET library version 1.0 released in April 2005, I decided to invest again a big part of my time ;-) for the community.

I thought that extending and improving the PDF Library was one the things to do, but which are the next features?

Well, I have to thank my friend Charles. Last month we were discussing about the further features of the PDF Library. He said: "if [you] need another challenge, how about developing a PDF merge program?". That sentence rocked me: I can't find a free windows application for doing that. Moreover there is no open project written in C#.

So I took again the giant PDF Reference by Acrobat for evaluating the possibility of doing that. ..."


Interesting... I can use a open source a PDF merge tool.

Currently I'm using the Acrobat API to merge PDF's, but that requires an Acrobat license/purchase. A cheaper, easier to deploy option with more control over the source code would be nice.
