java - 将(服务器端)一组 PDF 文档合并到 JAVA 中的一个大 PDF 文档的最简单方法是什么

Question

我有 3 个 PDF 文档，它们是由我们使用的遗留库即时生成并写入磁盘的。我的 JAVA 服务器代码获取这 3 个文档并将它们变成一个长 PDF 文档的最简单方法是什么，其中只有文档 #1 的所有页面，然后是文档 #2 的所有页面，等等。

理想情况下，我希望这发生在内存中，这样我就可以将它作为流返回给客户端，但将它写入磁盘也是一种选择。

@J D OConal，感谢您的提示，您发给我的文章非常过时，但它确实让我转向了 iText。我发现这个页面解释了如何做我需要的: http://java-x.blogspot.com/2006/11/merge-pdf-files-with-itext.html

感谢其他答案，但如果可以避免，我真的不想生成其他进程，而且我们的项目已经有 itext.jar，所以我没有添加任何外部依赖项

这是我最终编写的代码:

public class PdfMergeHelper {

    /**
     * Merges the passed in PDFs, in the order that they are listed in the java.util.List.
     * Writes the resulting PDF out to the OutputStream provided.
     * 
     * Sample Usage:
     * List<InputStream> pdfs = new ArrayList<InputStream>();
     * pdfs.add(new FileInputStream("/location/of/pdf/OQS_FRSv1.5.pdf"));
     * pdfs.add(new FileInputStream("/location/of/pdf/PPFP-Contract_Genericv0.5.pdf"));
     * pdfs.add(new FileInputStream("/location/of/pdf/PPFP-Quotev0.6.pdf"));
     * FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream("/location/to/write/to/merge.pdf");
     * PdfMergeHelper.concatPDFs(pdfs, output, true);
     * 
     * @param streamOfPDFFiles the list of files to merge, in the order that they should be merged
     * @param outputStream the output stream to write the merged PDF to
     * @param paginate true if you want page numbers to appear at the bottom of each page, false otherwise

    public static void concatPDFs(List<InputStream> streamOfPDFFiles, OutputStream outputStream, boolean paginate) {
        Document document = new Document();
        try {
            List<InputStream> pdfs = streamOfPDFFiles;
            List<PdfReader> readers = new ArrayList<PdfReader>();
            int totalPages = 0;
            Iterator<InputStream> iteratorPDFs = pdfs.iterator();

            // Create Readers for the pdfs.

                InputStream pdf = iteratorPDFs.next();
                PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdf);
                readers.add(pdfReader);
                totalPages += pdfReader.getNumberOfPages();
            }
