You’re offline. This is a read only version of the page.
because of the workload and I found automation using PAD, here I want to combine the pdf files from folder A and folder B then put them into folder C. in the order of pdf files from folder A above and pdf files from folder B below
The following is an illustration of the contents of folder, folder B, and folder C
Folder A
1234_SEP.pdf
1235_SEP.pdf
etc
folder B
1234.pdf
1235.pdf
etc
C folder
with the new file name 1234.pdf (1234_SEP.pdf above and 1234.pdf below)
I hope that makes sense, Thanks in advance for your help
this works fine
Thank you to all of you
sorry if it makes you confused

Hi @lagibingung ,
In Merge PDF Files action, please reverse the variables.
FolderBfiles variable followed by FolderAFiles

Got it!
In the merge pdf action swap the variables. Now We have mentioned AFolderFiles[Counter].Fullname right. Now first place BFolderFiles[Counter].Fullname and move AFolderFiles to last.
I'm sorry, in folder A I forgot to change 1234SEP.pdf to 1234_SEP.pdf, maybe that's why there are no merged files in the output folder
now the pdf has been combined and named accordingly
The problem this time is, the pdf in folder A is located on page 2 while the pdf in folder B is located on the first page, can the mergedpdf feature on PAD make the pdf file in folder A located on the first page?
@lagibingung
Pls share screenshot of folder A and B if possible? I can assist you in more appropriate way by finetune my above code.
Hi @lagibingung ,
Both works bit similar. Just try my new updated solution.
If it doesn't work, we will see.
Let me know whether it worked or not.

Hi @lagibingung ,
Please find the solution for naming the file after merging.
Please copy the updated below code to your flow.
Code:
Folder.GetFiles Folder: $'''C:\\Users\\vr79540\\OneDrive - Cyient Ltd\\Desktop\\Power Automate Desktop\\Practice\\Combine PDFS\\Folder A''' FileFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Files=> FolderA_Files
Folder.GetFiles Folder: $'''C:\\Users\\vr79540\\OneDrive - Cyient Ltd\\Desktop\\Power Automate Desktop\\Practice\\Combine PDFS\\Folder B''' FileFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Files=> FolderB_Files
SET Counter TO 0
LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem IN FolderA_Files
Text.SplitText.SplitWithDelimiter Text: FolderA_Files[0].Name CustomDelimiter: $'''_''' IsRegEx: False Result=> TextList
Pdf.MergeFiles PDFFiles: $'''{ \"%FolderA_Files[Counter].FullName%\", \"%FolderB_Files[Counter].FullName%\" }''' MergedPDFPath: $'''C:\\Users\\vr79540\\OneDrive - Cyient Ltd\\Desktop\\Power Automate Desktop\\Practice\\Combine PDFS\\Folder C\\%TextList[0]%.pdf''' IfFileExists: Pdf.IfFileExists.AddSequentialSuffix PasswordDelimiter: $''',''' MergedPDF=> MergedPDF
Variables.IncreaseVariable Value: Counter IncrementValue: 1
END

can the script be made from the script @Deenuji described?
OK, thanks for the explanation, here I start to understand how your script works
Here there is a problem with the output folder after merging files, there are no merged PDF files there
