Merge PDF

AI-generated

Overview

This node merges two PDF documents provided as binary data inputs. It is useful in scenarios where you need to combine multiple PDF files into a single document, such as merging reports, contracts, or forms. The node takes two inputs, each containing PDF files, and outputs a single merged PDF for each pair of input items.

Use Case Examples

  1. Merging two separate PDF reports into one consolidated report.
  2. Combining a signed contract PDF with an additional terms PDF into a single file.

Properties

Name Meaning
Property Name 1 Name of the binary property for the first input which holds the document to be used
Property Name 2 Name of the binary property for the second input which holds the document to be used
Property Name Out Name of the binary property where the combined document will be output

Output

Binary

The node outputs a binary PDF file that is the result of merging the two input PDF documents.

JSON

  • json - Merged JSON data from both input items
    binary - Binary data of the merged PDF document
  • pairedItem - Array indicating the paired input items from both inputs

Dependencies

  • Uses a PDF merging utility function from an internal helper module.
  • Requires binary data inputs containing PDF files.

Troubleshooting

  • Error if the number of items in the two inputs differ; ensure both inputs have the same number of items.
  • Error if either input binary data is not a PDF file; verify input files are valid PDFs.
  • If an error occurs and 'Continue On Fail' is enabled, the node outputs the original input data without merging for that item.
