I decided it.
Combine files in Acrobat - and it create new pdf.

How to programatically get the fragments called in an RTFtemplate?

I need to programmatically find the fragments that are called by each rtftemplate.
So, for example in the figure, I would need to get the "GlossaryTermsAcronyms" fragment for the H2_terms_acronyms template.
I can't seem to find any query or script solution to do this. But this should be possible, right?
Unfortunately that is (almost) impossible.
The information is stored in the t_documents.bincontent column. It is binary encoded RTF.
Somewhere in that RTF there should be a reference to the templates fragments that are used.
If you can figure out how to decode the bincontent to get to the actual RTF code of your template, you might have a chance.
Binary fields in EA are usually stored as a zipped text file.
In case the field is included in an xml file (or xml string in the database), it will be base64 encoded.

convert stream file of iText PDF not opening MS word

Our project has requirement to generate end report both in PDF and MS-Word Document. We are using iTextSharp to dynamically generate tables and rows in report. Finally we will upload the file to server as PDF and MS-word. Both will be converted to Byte Array/Stream file and saved as PDF and MS-Word Document. In Which,uploaded PDF working as expected, but MS-word getting error and not opening(Attaching the screen shot).
iTextSharp doesn't produce MS Word documents, so this isn't an actual iText question. When I look at your screen shot, I see that you are trying to import a PDF file into Word. Since Word can't interpret PDF syntax, it shows you the syntax of the PDF file:
%PDF-1.4
%âãÏÓ
1 0 obj
<</Type/Font...
I think your question is wrong. You are not using iTextSharp to create a PDF file and an MS Word file. You are using iTextSharp to create a PDF file, and not an MS Word file.
There is no such thing as "Save a PDF as MS Word file" in iTextSharp, and it will be extremely difficult to find another tool that can convert a PDF document to a Word document in an acceptable way. (There are such tools, but the quality is suboptimal for PDFs that weren't made to be converted to another format.)

Starting format for text file to be converted to other formats

I need to write a document using images, texts, hyperlinks... And then convert it to PDF and DOC (but in the future it can be converted to more file formats).
What's the best "starting format" for this document?
Doc or Docx might be the best file format for creating the document containing images, texts, hyperlinks, and many more elements. Once created, it's easy to convert files in .doc/.docx format into other file format, such as Image, PDF, HTML, by using OpenXML or even commercial library like Spire.Doc.

How to combine two PDF content

[Here are two pdf files which pagesize are A4. Their content height is half of A4 and another part is blank. Now I want to combine two A4 pdf files into one A4 pdf file with itext or itextsharp.

the source pdf files:
the combined pdf:
the first image is show the source two pdf files's content, the second image is show the result I want.

PDFs are not displaying apostrophes in field data inserted by iTextSharp

I am using iTextSharp to fill pre-defined fields on an existing PDF document using the folowing syntax:
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, stream);
stamper.AcroFields.SetField("A","O'Henry");
stamper.FormFlattening = true;
stamper.Close();
Unfortunately, apostrophes (and likely other forms of common punctuation) are not displayed in the output PDF. For instance, in the code above, field "A" displays the text "OHENRY" instead of "O'HENRY".
How do I get the output PDF to display the text including the apostrophes?
Also, please note that I do not have control over creating/modifying the original PDF being filled. I was given the PDF from an external source and will likely be given new versions of the PDF as the form changes.
Thanks!
An easy fix is to replace the single quotes with the ` character.
I found a solution here http://www.nabble.com/Populating-form-fields-with-Unicode-data-td21610346.html.
This solution involves embedding into each field a font that can handle the desired characters.
