PDFsharp Merge PDF

[rachkim1617]

Hi, has there been another update to the dll used for PDF Management VBO? I'm trying to merge PDFs which was working just last month, but is now throwing me an exception stepping over the action: 

I'm receiving this error message:
Cannot handle iref streams. The current implementation of PDFsharp cannot handle this PDF feature introduced with Acrobat 6.

Hi @rachkim1617 ,

Thank you for being a SS&C Blue Prism customer, and for using Blue Prism.

The problem you have is that PDFSharp cannot open the more recent PDF format, provided by Acrobat 6 and later.

The version of PDFSharp that we use, hasn't been updated in some years, as PDFSharp moved to a payment model and the version we have is the last version that was open source.

Resultantly, many of the PDF vendors, Adobe particularly, moved PDF manipulation to a subscription model. We have assets that work with these services, but they have a premium to use.

You may be able to use one of our other assets, perhaps PDFPig or even possibly the PDFium based asset (do pay attention to the installation of this asset if you go this way). I do suggest you review these assets for suitability as they may not provide the functionality that you need.

This issue is totally out of our control and as such we are unable to assist with updates to the asset at this time.

I hope this helps you move your project along.

regards
