Merge PDF support

[robtomlinson]

I am unfamiliar with the PDF specification, but I would like to have the ability to merge existing PDFs into a QuestPDF document. This is a feature of many other commercially available C# PDF libraries, but I don't know if there are any proprietary licensing, etc. that may be required that may prevent this from being added to QuestPDF.
Are there many technical/licensing hurdles that would prevent such an addition?

Hello 😁 Currently, due to architecture limitations, the library focuses only on PDF file generation. QuestPDF acts as a layout engine and uses SkiaSharp to produce the final PDF file. Therefore, it does not have any PDF content layer that could be used to implement altering and merging functionalities. It is just too big scope to handle at once 😁

Hi Marcin,

Is there any changes for this question in any near future or you dont think it will ever happen?
All of our customer are using our software for printing invoices and many of these need some kind of attachment, often in another pdf-document.

Right now, I am slowly finishing the introduction of a dual-license model. This will hopefully provide some extra funding and ensure my availability to implement this and many other features 😁

Till then, I recommend to continue using QuestPDF for document generation, and utilizing MigraDoc for the merge functionality.
