Read PDF and add it to a newly created PDF

Hello,

Anyone any idea on how to include an existing pdf into a newly created pdf. Perhaps exporting it to some other format or so

Basically I have a collection of items which will be thrown into a report
Some can be TIFF, JPEG, RTF etc. But it seems some peope who use our program also have pdf's
Basically we are creating 1 pdf file with everything in it and the only thing that is left is pdf's

Also i have been using the SQL3Lite ExportPDF instead of the PdfDocument. But if needed can switch it over

Any help would be appreciated

Re: Read PDF and add it to a newly created PDF

The engine is not able to read an existing PDF.
It will only produce new PDF content from any bitmap/metafile/text input.
Reading an existing PDF is not easy.

See http://synopse.info/forum/viewtopic.php?id=155
It would need to add some parsing code in order to read an existing pdf...
