This article shows how to use the PDF Merge tool to merge a Job with PDF files. To begin, there are some prerequisites needed:

Prerequisites

• A PDF folder with pdf files to pick up.

• A data file with reference to external pdf file(s).

• A setup with a PDF Merger

Steps

1. Open the PDF Merger, click Setup and add the JobInfo attachment.

2.  Click the Combining tab and select the Enable Job combining checkbox.

3. Add a File Retriever to pick up the PDF file(s). 

4. Select the File radio button and enter '#PathToFile#' into the Path field and the picked-up document is inserted into the Output JobInfo field.

5. Click Ok.

6. Add a script to read the path from data, and then run the modifier to pick up the extra files.

7. Ensure that a form with a pattern and a rearrange on the path where the script is run has been created.
