Question

Is it possible to combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file programmatically in iphone.I have created individual pages from different parts of my program and now nee

Answer 1

Yes you can do that. Please follow the below code

//Open a pdf context for the single file
UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToFile(oldFile, paperSize, nil);

//Run a loop to the number of pages you want
for (pageNumber = 1; pageNumber <= count; pageNumber++)
{
//Open a pdf page context
UIGraphicsBeginPDFPageWithInfo(paperSize, nil);

//Get graphics context to draw the page
CGContextRef currentContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

//Flip and scale context to draw the pdf correctly
CGContextTranslateCTM(currentContext, 0, paperSize.size.height);
CGContextScaleCTM(currentContext, 1.0, -1.0); 

//Get document access of the pdf from which you want a page
CGPDFDocumentRef newDocument = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithURL ((CFURLRef) newUrl);

//Get the page you want
CGPDFPageRef newPage = CGPDFDocumentGetPage (newDocument, pageNumber);

//Drawing the page
CGContextDrawPDFPage (currentContext, newPage);

//Clean up
newPage = nil;       
CGPDFDocumentRelease(newDocument);
newDocument = nil;
newUrl = nil;

}

UIGraphicsEndPDFContext();

So you have to write necessary condition of taking appropriate pages from appropriate pdf before draw the page. You have created a pdf from multiple sources!
