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 com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader.(Unknown Source)
at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader.(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

Cheers Dennis
