Adobe Reader prompts to save after opening merged PDF target

[pni.jkeyser]

Hello, again.

We are seeing an issue when the PdfDocument.MergeFiles(Stream[]) method is used to merge two PDFs together. When the saved PDF is opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader, it looks fine, but Reader will prompt to save the document when it is closed. I have rewritten our merge code to create a new PdfDocument and add the other PDFs using AppendPage(PdfDocument) instead and the resulting PDF is fine.

Attached is a zip file with a source PDF file (linq.pdf) and the result of merging that document with itself using MergeFiles().

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
I tried to merge your file by memoryStream and did notice the issue you mentioned. I have logged it into our bug tracking system, once there is any progress, we will inform you. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

And I found if you don't merge the Pdf files by memoryStream, there won't be the issue in result file. You could have a try, below is the code for you.

Code: Select all

            String[] files = new String[] { filepath1, filepath1 };
            PdfDocumentBase doc = PdfDocument.MergeFiles(files);
            doc.Save("result.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);

Hi, I have the same problem. I have to use Streams, so the workaround is not an option.
Any progress on fixing this BUG? I'm using version 5.11.18.
