AsposePdfMerge2Files

Merge two PDF files.

function AsposePdfMerge2Files(
    fileBlob1,
    fileBlob2,
    fileName1,
    fileName2,
    fileResultName 
)

Parameters:

  • fileBlob1 Blob object #1
  • fileBlob2 Blob object #2
  • fileName1 file name #1
  • fileName2 file name #2
  • fileResultName result file name

Return: JSON object

  • errorCode - code error (0 no error)
  • errorText - text error ("" no error)
  • fileNameResult - result file name

Example:

  var ffileMerge = function (e) {
    const file_reader = new FileReader();
    function readFile(index) {
      /*only two files*/
      if (index >= e.target.files.length || index >= 2) {
        /*merge two PDF-files and save the "ResultMerge.pdf"*/
        const json = AsposePdfMerge2Files(undefined, undefined, e.target.files[0].name, e.target.files[1].name, "ResultMerge.pdf");
        if (json.errorCode == 0) document.getElementById('output').textContent = json.fileNameResult;
        else document.getElementById('output').textContent = json.errorText;
        /*make a link to download the result file*/
        DownloadFile(json.fileNameResult, "application/pdf");
        return;
      }
      const file = e.target.files[index];
      file_reader.onload = function (event) {
        /*prepare(save) file from BLOB*/
        AsposePdfPrepare(event.target.result, file.name);
        readFile(index + 1)
      }
      file_reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
    }
    readFile(0);
  }
