concat static pdf
--- Erhalten von DIR.U106567 031/389 7810 27-12-03 18.17
Hello Cocoon Users
I have a question about concatenating static pdf files in Cocoon.
I create pdf files with FOP through Cocoon, which works fine. Now, in the
same response, I have to append one or more static pdf files, which are on
the server, to the created one. How can I manage this in Cocoon?
My idea was to use iText. I have tried to write an xsp that would call
com.lowagie.tools.concat_pdf, unsuccesfully.
Thank you in advance

I wrote a custom sitemap action to concatenate PDF's (using iText) and it
worked fine. So I see no reason that you shouldn't be able to do some thing
similar in an XSP.
You might want to write a small, standalone test Java program that
concatenates your PDF's from the command line (rather than inside
Cocoon/XSPs) just to make sure that you are using iText API calls correctly.
iText is quite powerful and can do some wonderful things with PDF files, but
the API is not very well documented nor is it very intuitive.
