Is it possible to open a PDF document from disk into Migradoc? We would like to use the printing capabilities of MigraDoc to concatenate multiple PDF files together and send them to the printer. We do not need to modify the documents, but PDF Sharp does not have the capabilities of printing directly to the printer.

I understand that Migradoc works with a different model than PDF Sharp, so this might not be possible? I was trying to copy pages from the PdfDocument into the Document but was unable to do that also.

Any suggestions appreciated!

From MigraDoc to PDF is a one way street ...

However you can create a MigraDoc file and add the pages from the PDF files page by page as images.
But I'm afraid the PDF pages won't print unless you create an intermediate PDF file from MigraDoc.

I'd probably use PDFsharp to concatenate the files.
You can call Adobe Reader with command line options to print the file without having the reader showing up.
I'm not sure if Ghostscript can be used to print PDF files - maybe you can use the Ghostscript API instead of the Reader.
