When StitchPDF was called with the height and width values set to 0, the output PDF did not use the input height and width as expected.



Code changes were made related to how the output page height and width are calculated, and how oversized images are sized during stitching. These changes resolved the issue.

When calling MergeFile while using initial view settings configured using properties from the InitialViewInfo object, the output PDF did not use the initial view settings.



Changes were made to the internal MergeFile code which resolved the issue.
