Implement API for stream writing whole PDF documents and their properties
Currently, PdfStreamWriter writes only PDF pages.

If we implement API for merging multiple pages or whole documents we would be able to preserve links between pages (which are currently being corrupted).

Merging whole documents would also allow preserving document properties (bookmarks, interactive forms, ...). For a more detailed list of the unsupported document properties you can refer to our documentation: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radpdfprocessing/formats-and-conversion/pdf/pdfstreamwriter/features.

We may also implement API for adding initial document properties from some existing PDF file.

Hello Rami,

We have a system that prioritizes the logged items in the Feedback Portal by taking into consideration various factors like complexity and demand. We are doing everything in our power to answer customer requests and needs as fast as possible but some receive less attention than others, which is why they can sometimes be delayed, just like this one.

That said, I understand how this feature is important to you but currently it is not on our roadmap and I wouldn't want to mislead you by giving you incorrect information. Once any item is completed, we immediately update the public feedback page to notify our clients so the only thing I can offer you is to subscribe to it and cast your vote if you haven't already.  

Regards,
Yoan

This proposal has been open for coming up to seven years now. Safe to say this will not be implemented? Which is a shame, using the RadFixedDocument method proposed by Tanya is way slower and mangles some documents.

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Please, make sure to upvote this item as this directly affects its priority in our backlog.

What I can suggest at this point is to try the Merge() method exposed by RadFixedDocument. This method will merge the bookmarks in both documents. Something you should have in mind is that this approach requires parsing the whole PDF document and mapping it to the model of PdfProcessing. Thus, depending on the exact documents which are used, you might find a different behavior compared to the PdfStreamWriter API.

Tanya

Preserving bookmarks while merging documents would be most helpful for us.
