Free Spire PDF merge page limitation

Thu Jul 11, 2024 8:50 pm

I am using Free version of Spire PDF and recently upgraded to the latest version 10.2.0
I know that there is a limitation of merging 10 pages in the free version and it was working fine before the upgrade.

However, after the version upgrade, it is no longer working for 10 pages and throwing a System.ArgumentException: The page already exists in some section. (Parameter 'page') at Spire.Pdf.PdfSection

It works fine for less than 10 pages but no longer working for 10 pages. Is that a known issue? Is there any recommended fix with the free version? I am using an array of streams to merge the Pdf files which is the first overloaded method:

PdfDocumentBase PdfDocument.MergeFiles(Stream[] streams)

Hello makaopior，

I'm sorry, this issue hasn't been resolved yet. We are working to solve this issue for the free version, but due to the infrequent updates and maintenance of the free version, we need more time to investigate. I will notify you immediately once there are any updates. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
At present, the commercial version（Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:10.9.0） does not have this issue. You can use our commercial version for evaluation and testing, and we can provide you with a one month temporary license. If you need, please contact us.

Sincerely,
Amin
