What are the differences between VirtualBox and VMware Workstation?

Question

I have the requirement to merge pdf together. I need to import a pdf at a specific page into another one.

Let me illustrate this to you.

I have two pdf, first one is 50 pages long and the second one is 4pages long. I need to import the second one at the 13th page of the first pdf.

I don't find any exemple. There are plenty exemple on how to merge pdf but nothing about merging at a specific page.

Based on this exemple it look like I need to iterate over all pages one by one and import them in a new pdf. That look a bit painfull espicially if you have big pdf and need to merge many. I would create x new pdf to merge x+1 pdf.

Is there something I don't understand or is it really the way to go?

Solution

See the following blog entries for a pretty good comparison together with pros and cons of VMware vs. VirtualBox:

Suplementary question How do they differ in ability to share files between host and guest (and between guests)

It should be noted that this question and its answers are subject to change without notice. The page that Mehper linked to was for older versions of both program from several years ago and newer versions will pretty much certainly be different and could even counter the previous results.

That's easy in Acrobat. Tools -> Insert From File -> choose file, location after page 13.

@OtávioDécio I need to do this programatically and ideally with out been dependant on Acrobat
