Use at your own risk. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require benjivm/merge-pdf ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Append the first ten pages of **bar.pdf** to **foo.pdf**: ``` use Benjivm\MergePdf\Merger; use Benjivm\MergePdf\Pages; $merger = new Merger; $merger->addFile('foo.pdf'); $merger->addFile('bar.pdf', new Pages('1-10')); $createdPdf = $merger->merge(); ``` Bulk add files from an iterator: ``` use Benjivm\MergePdf\Merger; $merger = new Merger; $merger->addIterator(['A.pdf', 'B.pdf']); $createdPdf = $merger->merge(); ``` ### Merging pdfs of version 1.5 and later [](#merging-pdfs-of-version-15-and-later) The default `FPDI` driver is not able handle compressed pdfs of version 1.5 or later. Circumvent this limitation by using the slightly more experimental `TCPDI` driver. ``` use Benjivm\MergePdf\Merger; use Benjivm\MergePdf\Driver\TcpdiDriver; $merger = new Merger(new TcpdiDriver); ``` ### Using an immutable merger [](#using-an-immutable-merger) Immutability may be achieved by using a `driver` directly. ``` use Benjivm\MergePdf\Driver\Fpdi2Driver; use Benjivm\MergePdf\Source\FileSource; use Benjivm\MergePdf\Pages; $merger = new Fpdi2Driver; $createdPdf = $merger->merge( new FileSource('foo.pdf'), new FileSource('bar.pdf', new Pages('1-10')) ); ``` Known issues ------------ [](#known-issues) - Links and other content outside a page content stream is removed at merge. This is due to limitations in FPDI and not possible to resolve with the current strategy. For more information see [FPDI](https://www.setasign.com/support/faq/fpdi/after-importing-a-page-all-links-are-gone/#question-84). - *TCPDI* (as used in the *TcpdiDriver* for merging pdfs with newer features) does not seem to be maintained. This makes mergeing fragile for certain kinds of files, and error messages are often all but helpful. This package will not be able to fix issues in *TCPDI*. The long term solution is to switch to a different backend. Suggestions are very welcomed! ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance32 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity46 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 89.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
