Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Create an N-Up PDF document

The Java sample uses PdfFileEditor.makeNUp to build a 2x2 layout from an existing PDF.

Steps

Create a PdfFileEditor instance.
Call makeNUp with the input file, output file, and the number of columns and rows.
Save the generated document.
If you want explicit success checking, call the boolean-return variant and handle a false result.

Java example

public static void createNupPdfDocument(Path inputFile, Path outputFile) {
    PdfFileEditor nupMaker = new PdfFileEditor();
    nupMaker.makeNUp(inputFile.toString(), outputFile.toString(), 2, 2);
}

public static void tryCreateNupPdfDocument(Path inputFile, Path outputFile) {
    PdfFileEditor nupMaker = new PdfFileEditor();
    if (!nupMaker.makeNUp(inputFile.toString(), outputFile.toString(), 2, 2)) {
        System.out.println("Failed to create N-Up PDF document.");
    }
}

Create a PDF booklet

Use PdfFileEditor.makeBooklet to rearrange the pages of an existing PDF into booklet order.

Steps

Save the booklet document.
If you want to check the return status, use the boolean-return variant and handle a failed result.

public static void createPdfBooklet(Path inputFile, Path outputFile) {
    PdfFileEditor bookletMaker = new PdfFileEditor();
    bookletMaker.makeBooklet(inputFile.toString(), outputFile.toString());

    PdfFileEditor bookletMaker = new PdfFileEditor();
