pdfvisualforce

I've a requirement to create a Visualforce page renderAs PDF.
This page has one section in which I want to render information which is stored in the another document, this document could be Attachment or Document record.

Is there any way to render a complete document inside a Visualforce page which is already a PDF?

No, there is not. You can only render HTML and images. You would need to store your other document as HTML if you want to render it in the PDF.

This is because if your page thats been rendered as PDF if uses standard controller ,you need to set Id parameters for the same and also use setredirect(true)

Sample code is as follows

 PageReference pdf = Page.Footer_Helitene;
 pdf.getParameters().put('id',o.Id); /Set oportunity Id here 
 pdf.setRedirect(true);//Set redirect to true to be on safer side
 //Rest of your code

[SalesForce] Render PDF Blob data in visualforce page

Visualforce does not emit binary data. As such, there is no direct way I'm aware of to render a PDF blob to the user using Visualforce.

The one semi-exception I know of is that you can cause a browser to render an image file (not PDF) using base 64 data URL's.

Your best bet is probably to save the PDF blob as an Attachment object, and then redirect the user to the "View Attachment" platform URL.
