Using this library, you can import pages from multiple PDF documents to one PDF document at a specific page range using C# and VB.NET.

Steps to import pages from multiple PDF documents to one PDF document at specific page range programmatically

1. Create a new C# console application project.

Create Console application

Install the Syncfusion.PDF.WinForms NuGet packages as a reference to your .NET Framework application from NuGet.org.

Install NuGet packages

3. Include the following namespaces in the Program.cs file.

using Syncfusion.Pdf;
using Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics;
using Syncfusion.Pdf.Parsing;

VB.NET

4. The following code example shows how to import pages from multiple PDF documents to one PDF document at a specific page range using C#.

//Load twelve pages PDF document
PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument1 = new PdfLoadedDocument("../../Data/Brochure.pdf");
 
//Load three pages PDF document
PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument2 = new PdfLoadedDocument("../../Data/Barcode.pdf");
 
//Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
 
//Import two pages from the first document
document.ImportPageRange(loadedDocument1, 0, 1);
 
//Import all pages from the second document. So, this will be the third page of the first document
document.ImportPageRange(loadedDocument2, 0, loadedDocument2.Pages.Count - 1);
 
//Import the remaining pages from the first document
document.ImportPageRange(loadedDocument1, 2, loadedDocument1.Pages.Count - 1);
 
//Save and closes the documents
document.Save("Sample.pdf");
document.Close(true);
 
Process.Start("Sample.pdf");

VB.NET

'Load twelve pages PDF document
Dim loadedDocument1 As PdfLoadedDocument = New PdfLoadedDocument("../../Data/Brochure.pdf")
 
'Load three pages PDF document
Dim loadedDocument2 As PdfLoadedDocument = New PdfLoadedDocument("../../Data/Barcode.pdf")
 
'Create a new PDF document
Dim document As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument()
 
'Import two pages from the first document
document.ImportPageRange(loadedDocument1, 0, 1)
 
'Import all pages from the second document. So, this will be the third page of the first document
document.ImportPageRange(loadedDocument2, 0, loadedDocument2.Pages.Count - 1)
 
'Import remaining pages from the first document
document.ImportPageRange(loadedDocument1, 2, loadedDocument1.Pages.Count - 1)
 
'Save and closes the documents
document.Save("Sample.pdf")
document.Close(True)
 
Process.Start("Sample.pdf")

By executing the program, you will get the PDF document as follows.
