insertPageNumber
The 1-based number of the insertion point in this PDFFile object. Use a value of 0 to insert the new pages at the beginning of the file and -1 to insert the new pages at the end of the file (append).
sourceFile
A PDFFile object associated with an existing PDF file that contain the source file to insert the pages from.

Remarks

Both files in this PDFFile (the destination) and sourceFile must exist and contain valid PDF files prior to calling this method.

To use this method, associate this PDFFile object and the source PDFFile with a valid PDF file and optional password. You can achieve this by either using the PDFFile(string fileName) or PDFFile(string fileName, string password) constructurs or set the file name and optional password directly into the FileName and Password properties. You do not need to call Load before using this method.

This method will use the following properties of this PDFFile object:
