You can find the answers over How to merge 2 or more byte items in array to one byte element[^].

To achieve what you require, deserialize each byte array into a suitable PDF representation, than use a suitable API to merge the documents together.

To implement the effect you want to achieve you'll need to use some 3rd party C# PDF library. You can find some links to open-source PDF libraries in answers to this SO question[^] or there[^].

[Updated]
Try to implement this solution by Sergey Kudriavtsev[^]

To merger pdfs, the best article to follow is Simple .NET PDF Merger[^].
