Merging the First Page of PDFs Using iText and VB/C#

[Antonio Annunziata]

Hello,

i have written a function to merge the first page of one PDF into another using iTextSharp, and I have used the following code:

```
Public Function MergePagePdf(ByVal outputFile As String, ByVal inputFile2 As Byte(), ByVal inputFile1 As Byte(), ByRef strErrore As String) As Boolean
Dim bRet As Boolean = False
Dim positionx As Integer = 0
Dim positiony As Integer = 0
Dim document As iTextSharp.text.Document = New iTextSharp.text.Document()
Try
Dim writer As PdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, New FileStream(outputFile, FileMode.Create))
document.Open()
Dim cb As PdfContentByte = writer.DirectContent
Dim page1 As PdfImportedPage
Dim page2 As PdfImportedPage
Dim reader1 As PdfReader = New PdfReader(inputFile1)
Dim reader2 As PdfReader = New PdfReader(inputFile2)
document.SetPageSize(reader1.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1))
document.NewPage()
page1 = writer.GetImportedPage(reader1, 1)
page2 = writer.GetImportedPage(reader2, 1)
cb.AddTemplate(page1, 0, 0)
cb.AddTemplate(page2, positionx, positiony)

If reader1.NumberOfPages > 1 Then
For i As Integer = 2 To reader1.NumberOfPages
document.SetPageSize(reader1.GetPageSizeWithRotation(i))
document.NewPage()
page1 = writer.GetImportedPage(reader1, i)
cb.AddTemplate(page1, 0, 0)
Next
End If

bRet = True
Catch e As Exception
strErrore = e.Message
bRet = False
Finally
If document IsNot Nothing Then document.Close()
End Try

Return bRet
End Function
```

I am trying to achieve the same result with the new version of iText, but I haven't been successful. Is it possible to do it with the new version? If yes, can someone guide me on how to accomplish it?

Thank you for your help.
