I am attempting to append images to an existing PDF using the following.
Upcoming Events
public static byte[] Append(byte[] inputPdf, params Image[] images)
{
var ms = new MemoryStream();
ms.Write(inputPdf, 0, inputPdf.Length);
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
using (Document pdf = new Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4, 10, 10, 10, 10))
using (PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdf, ms))
{
pdf.Open();
foreach (var image in images)
{
var result = pdf.NewPage();
ImageFormat format = image.PixelFormat == PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed
|| image.PixelFormat == PixelFormat.Format4bppIndexed
|| image.PixelFormat == PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed
? ImageFormat.Tiff

The result value is not used, I was debugging it. The value is always true, so the add page is
working.

The resulting PDF is the same size as the original, but is not readable. I get invalid root object

When working with an existing PDF you need to use a PdfStamper, see How can I insert an image with

You are making the wrong assumption that you can glue the bytes of two PDF documents together.
You have one PDF that looks like this:
%PDF-1.6
%
1 0 obj <<
... PDF syntax
%%EOF
With another one that looks like this:
%PDF-1.6
%
1 0 obj <<
... PDF syntax
%%EOF
Resulting in a file that looks like this:
%PDF-1.6
%
1 0 obj <<
... PDF syntax
%%EOF
%PDF-1.6
%
1 0 obj <<
... PDF syntax
%%EOF
You really shouldn't expect this to work! Please start by reading chapter 6 of my book and read
about called PdfStamper . Then go to this question: How can I insert an image with iTextSharp in
an existing PDF?

I am trying to add new pages to the PDF, not stamp existing pages on the pdf.

I know, but you still need PdfStamper and its insertPage() method (read section 6.3.4 of the free chapter). You
certainly don't want to concatenate the bytes of one file to the bytes of another file.
