Product Description:

This is a command line tool to join PDF files. When you have to deal with joining several files it is much faster than using Adobe Acrobat. However, it will not join PDF files which have security enabled, it will generate an error.
The code is actually from the iText project. I added a shell script and created an installer. Hope people find it as useful as I did.
To install download and decompress the sit file. Then run the installer.

Why .sit? - Version: 2.3.1, 5/25/2009 12:17AM PST

robert.stresing1

Why does it come as a .sit-file? I have no idea how to open this. It seems I would need a commercial software to open it. Is there no way to make it a little more simple for people who are not computer experts, but just want to use a program? Or is there any commercial interest behind using such formats? Or - last question - am I just too stupid and everybody should know how to open this file?

Error when joining files - Version: 2.3.1, 9/17/2008 03:37PM PST

Hi all, maybe somebody can help me out.

If I do a "joinPDF ./complete.pdf *.pdf", it starts to work on several PDF files, but after a while I get an error message like this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.ByteBuffer.toByteArray(Unknown Source)
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfName.(Unknown Source)
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader.readDictionary(Unknown Source)

at Concat.(Concat.java:94)
at Concat.main(Concat.java:70)

and joinPDF exits ... the resulting PDF file is unreadable.

Can anybody tell me what to do?

Mac OS X 10.5.5 is up to date.
Java version is 1.5.0_13
