itext - How to merge PDFs into a PDF Portfolio?

Question

I am looking for the functionality that creates PDF Portfolios:

The image shows the free adobe reader that can be downloaded from Adobe (duh!). When I open this particular PDF, I was surprised that it has all these Layout, Files and Attachment features. It is definitely not the normal "PDF merge". It is more like a package with multiple PDFs.

Can itextsharp do this? What is the search term for this PDF functionality?

Answer 1

The term you're looking for is PDF Portfolios. You can create PDFs like this with iTextSharp. Here are a couple of C# examples from the iText book:

• Chapter16 - KubrickCollection
• Chapter16 - KubrickMovies

If you choose to download the KubrickMovies result file, change the extension to ".pdf". Just noticed it now - will try and fix the error this weekend.
