Answer 1

Here is a routine that I wrote to take a url for a pdf and append it to a context that you've already created (so that you can call it for multiple files and append them all):

- (void)appendPdfAtURL:(NSURL *)pdfURL toContext:(CGContextRef)pdfDestinationContext {
    CGPDFDocumentRef  pdfDoc = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithURL((__bridge_retained CFURLRef)pdfURL);
    if (pdfDoc) {
        size_t numPages = CGPDFDocumentGetNumberOfPages(pdfDoc);
        if (numPages > 0) {
            // Loop through each page in the source file
            for (size_t i = 1; i <= numPages; i++) {
                CGPDFPageRef pdfPage = CGPDFDocumentGetPage(pdfDoc, i);
                if (pdfPage) {
                    // Get the page size
                    CGRect pdfCropBoxRect = CGPDFPageGetBoxRect(pdfPage, kCGPDFMediaBox);

                    // Copy the page from the source file to the context
                    CGContextBeginPage(pdfDestinationContext, &pdfCropBoxRect);
                    CGContextDrawPDFPage(pdfDestinationContext, pdfPage);
                }
            }
        }

        // Close the source file
        CGPDFDocumentRelease(pdfDoc);
    }
}
