Is there a way to combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF?

With a regular work order through my client, I have to update a set of individual PDFs and provide a marked up set of what changed from the original set of PDFs. So, all individual PDFs will be replaced, but a combined set of the original PDFs is needed as well. Normally, I would select the individual PDFs I wanted to combine into a single PDF, right click and have it combine in acrobat, but now that we are using M-Files I can only access the files via M-Files and there is no right click feature to combine PDFs in Acrobat. I tried doing the right click and then save as multi-file document, but that doesn't create a single PDF document with all of the PDFs I've selected, it creates a group of single sheet PDFs which is not ideal for quickly marking up as you'd have to open every single PDF and mark it up, rather than just scroll through pages of a single document. Is there a way to combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF within M-Files, or is that as good as it gets?

  • If you have access to the PDF Processor (this is a module of the Compliance kit, and the module is included in the Advanced Rendering add-on) then you can combine PDFs.  It may be worth reaching out to your M-Files account manager, or your M-Files reseller, to check.

    There are also some third-party options available such as the Extension Kit from Unitfly.

    Whilst I haven't done this in a while you should also still be able to open Acrobat, find the associated files from M-Files via the M drive, let Acrobat combine them, then save the resulting document back into M-Files.
