Merging PDF Files using PDFBox in Sub/Directories

[blivori]

Hi,

I am currently trying to create a program that merges all the files in directories and sub-directories (automatically) and rename them according to the directory/sub0directory they are in. I am trying to acheive this using the PDFBox library.

As of now I have found a script that reads all the files and folders in a directory and sub-directories.

My problem is that I don't know how to acheive the merging of PDFs (i.e. merging the files and renaming them according to the folder name).

I found a tutorial on how to merge files with PDFBox here but I need to apply it to do it automatically for all the files in the directories.

The code that lists all the files and folders is this:

import java.io.File;

public class Main {

  static int spc_count=-1;

  static void Process(File aFile) {
    spc_count++;
    String spcs = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < spc_count; i++)
      spcs += " ";
    if(aFile.isFile())
      System.out.println(spcs + "[FILE] " + aFile.getName());
    else if (aFile.isDirectory()) {
      System.out.println(spcs + "[DIR] " + aFile.getName());
      File[] listOfFiles = aFile.listFiles();
      if(listOfFiles!=null) {
        for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++)
          Process(listOfFiles[i]);
      } else {
        System.out.println(spcs + " [ACCESS DENIED]");
      }
    }
    spc_count--;
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String nam = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\student3\\Desktop\\PDFs";
    File aFile = new File(nam);
    Process(aFile);
  }
  
  

}

Any help please?

Thanks & Regards,
