Manipulating PDF Files with Iron PDF in C#

In this tutorial, we explore the process of adding, copying, and deleting pages in PDF files using the Iron PDF library in C#. We begin by installing Iron PDF through the NuGet package manager, followed by configuring the license key for its functionality. The tutorial demonstrates importing a cover page and a content document, merging them into a single PDF, and saving the result. We then cover inserting a cover page at the start of a document using the insert PDF method. Copying pages is next, with instructions on copying a single page or multiple pages from an existing PDF into a new document. The tutorial also explains the removal of pages using the remove page and remove pages methods, allowing for the deletion of specific pages. Throughout the tutorial, confirmation messages are printed to the console to indicate successful operations. By the end of the tutorial, viewers will be able to manipulate PDF documents efficiently, enhancing their document management capabilities.
