        File _folder = new File(folder);
        File[] filesInFolder;
        filesInFolder = _folder.listFiles();
        for (File string : filesInFolder)
        {
            mergePdf.addSource(string);    
        }
    mergePdf.setDestinationFileName("Combined.pdf");

According to the javadoc, MemoryUsageSetting controls how memory/temporary files are used for buffering.

The two easiest usages are:

MemoryUsageSetting.setupMainMemoryOnly()

this sets buffering memory usage to only use main-memory (no temporary file) which is not restricted in size.

MemoryUsageSetting.setupTempFileOnly()

this sets buffering memory usage to only use temporary file(s) (no main-memory) which is not restricted in size.

So for you, the call would be 

mergePdf.mergeDocuments(MemoryUsageSetting.setupMainMemoryOnly());

or

mergePdf.mergeDocuments(MemoryUsageSetting.setupTempFileOnly());

Or just pass null. This will default to main memory only. That's also what the javadoc tells: memUsageSetting defines how memory is used for buffering PDF streams; in case of null unrestricted main memory is used.
