PDF Merger

This module can combine multiple PDF documents into a single job, as well as merge a list of additional PDF documents with the combined job.

The JobInfo named JobData will contain the data for all the combined jobs. It will be attached to the JobInfos that were created in the first job. JobInfos for all other Jobs expect that the first job will be deleted.

You can add a criteria to each additional document as well as documents whose criteria are true, to be merged with the job. If no additional documents are added, it will only combine jobs from the combiner.

Settings

The PDF Merger has the following settings:

Non-valid/Existing PDF Data

If invalid or existing PDF data is added in JobInfos listed to be merged with JobData at First, Middle and Last page, the engine will behave as follows:

• If the listed JobInfo exists in the job but contains invalid PDF data, the engine will fail the job.

• If the listed JobInfo exists in the job but contains null data, the engine will not fail the job.

• If the listed JobInfo does not exist in the job, the engine will not fail the job
