Hello, I am merging a number of PDFs (the single pages of a magazine) into
files of a fixed amount of pages to print them in booklet format with the
following code

numBooklets48=numTotalPages/48;
for (int i=1;i<=numBooklets48;i++) {
strTemp = ("" + (1000+i)).substring(2);
//rectangle contains the right size;
Document document = new Document(rectangle);
PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(document, new FileOutputStream("Booklet"+i
+ ".pdf"));
document.open();
for (int j=1;j<=48;j++){
  strTemp="page" + j + 48*(i-1) + ".pdf";
  File f = new File(strTemp);
  if (f.exists()) {
     reader=new PdfReader(strTemp);
     copy.addPage(copy.getImportedPage(reader, 1));
               }
  else {
     reader=new PdfReader("emptypage.pdf");
     copy.addPage(copy.getImportedPage(reader, 1));
      }
}
 document.close();
          }

This is working, but I would like 1) to be able to insert an empty page when
the original page is missing. Now I am adding a page coming from an existing
PDF. 2) I would like to crop the inserted pages to the trim box, while
inserting them.

How could I do? Thanks in advance for any help.

Marcello
