Posted on by Sima-C

Hello,

I'm trying to merge 2 documents using variables but the syntax is not working. Its recognizing the 2 variables as one text even though the delimiter , is used.

The error message:

Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.SDK.ActionException: File '[here was the combined file pats]' doesn't exist
 at Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.PDF.Actions.MergePDFFilesAction.Execute(ActionContext context)
 at Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Robin.Engine.Execution.ActionRunner.Run(IActionStatement statement, Dictionary`2 inputArguments, Dictionary`2 outputArguments)

Syntax used in PDF Files: %PDF_1%,%PDF_2%

Any thoughts on this?

The action expects a list. Try using %[PDF_1,PDF_2]% to send it as a list.

It seems like @Agnius got this solved for you.

As a point of reference in future issues, hover over the "i" icon to see proper parameters or syntax. Another tool that is helpful is the "More info" link at the top which takes you to the specific documentation.

Best of luck!
