Usage

Call the function to import the content of the specified PDF
document (source document) to the current PDF document (target
document).

Note

The source document and target document must follow the same
standard (for example, “PDF_None!”). Otherwise, the imported PDF
will show as blank pages.
After importing a PDF document with form fields (such as
checkbox, combobox, listbox, radiobutton, signature, and
textfield) into a target document, it is not possible to import
another PDF document that also contains form fields. The function
will throw an error.

Examples

The following example inserts the PDF file content to the end of the
document:

PDFdocument lpdf_doc
lpdf_doc = create PDFdocument

//Import the PDF content
lpdf_doc.importpdf("D:import	estdocument.pdf")
lpdf_doc.save( "D:saveimportcomplete.pdf")
