PHP library for merging multiple PDFs.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require iio/libmergepdf
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Append the first ten pages of **bar.pdf** to **foo.pdf**:

```
use iio\libmergepdf\Merger;
use iio\libmergepdf\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 iio\libmergepdf\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 iio\libmergepdf\Merger;
use iio\libmergepdf\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 iio\libmergepdf\Driver\Fpdi2Driver;
use iio\libmergepdf\Source\FileSource;
use iio\libmergepdf\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!
