Hello,=0A=0AI have a use case where I need to merge a large number of small=
 pdf document (hundred of thousands) into one pdf document.=0ACurrently I a=
m using the method:=A0org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFMergerUtility.appendDocumen=
t(destination, source); for all the source documents, not directly mergeDoc=
uments() method in the same class because I need to also add some bookmarks=
. Finally I save the document.=0A=0AIs it a better way of doing this with a=
 lower memory footprint? I tried importing each page from the source docume=
nts by using the method PDDocument.importPage() but still throws errors in =
version 1.8.2.=A0=0A=0AWhen I call PDDocument.load(File) the whole document=
 is loaded in memory? If so, it means that saving the generated pdf after m=
erging a subset of documents and then reloading it would not decrease the m=
emory use anyway ...=0A=0ACould somebody point me to the right way of doing=
 this?=0A=0AThanks,=0AMihaela
