PDF - Merge Specific Files

Overview

The 'PDF - Merge Specific Files' flow merges up to 10 documents into a single PDF document. 

Use the PDF - Merge Files action to merge more the 10 documents or where the files for merge are dynamically set.

Please refer to the Supported Document Types articles for a complete list of the different file formats / document types which are supported for conversion.

Credit Count

The final merge operation count is determined using the following calculation:

Merge Action (1) + (No. of Documents Converted to PDF) = Total Operation Count

For example, merging 48 PDF documents;

1 + 0 = 1

For example, merging 48 non-PDF documents which are also converted to PDF before merging:

1 + 48 = 49

For example, merging 612 documents of which 9 are also converted to PDF before merging:

1 + 9 = 10
