Combine PDF using Java REST API

Easily merge PDF files together in Java code. This Java library is designed to combine multiple PDF files into a single file using the REST API, i.e. by passing HTTPS calls over the Internet.

This is a professional Cloud-native PDF merging solution that provides Java programmers with both great development flexibility and powerful features. Joining PDF files together is often used when it is necessary to create a set of documents of the same structure, each of which contains unique data. By merging PDF files, you can automate your digital workflows and offload some routine parts of the process to fast and efficient PDF processing Java software.

Merge multiple PDF into one in Java

You may need to combine PDF files together in many cases. For example, you may want to combine multiple PDF files together before printing or archiving.

PDF merging can be part of a whole integrated document-processing approach for generating documents from disparate data sources. Such tasks involve the use of a full-featured PDF manipulation Java library that will process a set of PDF files and merge them together in the shortest possible time, producing a compact and accurate result.

Merge PDF files in Java

To merge PDF in Java, you need at least two source PDF files. For a quick start, please check out the Java code example below.

Upload files you want to combine
Run code
Upload files you want to combine
Select the target format from the list
import com.aspose.words.cloud.*;

ApiClient apiClient = new ApiClient("####-####-####-####-####", "##################", null);
WordsApi wordsApi = new WordsApi(apiClient);

byte[] document = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(
   "Input1.pdf").toAbsolutePath());

DocumentEntry mergeDocument = new DocumentEntry();
// Load a document to append from the Cloud storage.
mergeDocument.setFileReference(new FileReference("Input2.pdf"));
mergeDocument.setImportFormatMode("KeepSourceFormatting");

ArrayList documentEntries = new ArrayList();
documentEntries.add(mergeDocument);
DocumentEntryList documentList = new DocumentEntryList();
documentList.setDocumentEntries(documentEntries);

AppendDocumentOnlineRequest appendDocumentOnline = 
   new AppendDocumentOnlineRequest(document, documentList, 
      null, null, null, null, null, null);
wordsApi.appendDocumentOnline(appendDocumentOnline);
