Admittedly, I am late to the party, but I have just started digging into PowerShell. The more I dig, the more I find that there is not much you cannot do in PowerShell.

Recently, I was browsing the forums and came across a post asking if it is possible to use LEADTOOLS in PowerShell to split multi-page PDF files into multiple single page PDF files. The answer is absolutely!

We have done several posts that uses the LEADTOOLS Document Converter to convert and merge multiple images and documents, including PDF. However, if all you need is to merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF file, LEADTOOLS has a PDFFile class that can combine PDF files with one-line of code.

The PDFFile class is available for .NET FX, .NET Core, and Java. In addition to PDF file merge, the PDFFile class provides much more including getting information about the file, getting PDF metadata, encrypting and decrypting PDFs, distilling PostScript to PDF, digital signing, bookmarking, annotating, and web optimizing.

In the “Merge PDF Files - C#, VB, and Java Code” article, we described how to use the PDFFile class from the PDF SDK to merge multiple PDF files into one with just a couple lines of code. Using the PDFFile class also makes PDF encryption, decryption, and password protection just as easy! The PDFFile class is available for .NET FX, .NET Core, and Java.

There are two types of PDF password protection:

Recently we posted about how to convert PDF to JPEG and converting multi-page TIFF to PDF. A customer recently asked how one might add multiple images to a PDF. Luckily, LEADTOOLS supports more than 150 raster, vector, and document file formats including SVG, JPEG, PNG and more. So let's dive in and show you how simple it is!

We recently posted “Convert PDF to TXT in C#, VB, and Java” that uses the LEADTOOLS Document Converter class. Now, we are going to go the other way around and convert TXT to PDF. The main difference is that conversion from text to PDF is less complicated because the source TXT file is always text based. On the other hand, PDF files can be text or image based. Converting an image to text requires OCR. Converting Text to PDF does not matter if the resulting PDF is image- or text-based.
