I am doing some research, trying to find out if its a good or bad idea to do the following.

  1. A user would make a selection of choices
  2. Based on the selections, our website would merge these selected PDFs together
  3. The user could download the Merged PDF.

I know there are things like "Java Open Source PDF Libraries" and "PDFBox", but my main question is this…

Would this be too server intensive?

  • *too server intensive* - what are your resources, what is your expected volume of merge requests, what kind of source PDFs are we talking about? – mkl Feb 19 '14 at 06:13

It depends on how often the operation will be run, and how much money you are willing to spend on hardware. I suggest you estimate the expected load and run a benchmark.
