public class PDFMergerExample
extends Object

This example demonstrates the use of the new methods PDFMergerUtility.setDestinationDocumentInformation(org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocumentInformation) and PDFMergerUtility.setDestinationMetadata(org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.common.PDMetadata) that were added in April 2016. These allow to control the meta data in a merge without having to reopen the result file.
