Sometimes it is necessary to merge Pdf files according to a certain rule or logic. In this case a simple merging will not help us and in order to achieve our goal it is necessary to write custom logic for selecting pages and merging them to OneNote document.

The sample below shows how to import all pages from PDF grouping every 5 pages to a single OneNote page.

var d = new Document();

var mergeOptions = new MergeOptions() { ImportAsSinglePage = true, PageSpacing = 100 };

IEnumerable<Page> pages = PdfImporter.Import(Path.Combine(dataDir, "SampleGrouping.pdf"));
while (pages.Any())
{
    d.Merge(pages.Take(5), mergeOptions);
    pages = pages.Skip(5);
}

d.Save(Path.Combine(dataDir, "sample_CustomMerge.one"));
