Merge PDF Files using iTextSharp

iText# (iTextSharp) is a port of the iText open source java library written entirely in C# for the .NET platform. iText# is a library that allows you to generate PDF files on the fly. It is implemented as an assembly.The code of the class I've written uses iText# and is based on the example code (Console Application) that can be found on http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/examples/Concat.cs . However, this code seems to target an out of date version of iText# and can't be compiled without fixing some lines...This C#-class will allow you to merge multiple PDF's to one big PDF-file:// Based on : http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/examples/Concat.csusing System;using System.IO;using iTextSharp.text;
