Combining PDF files

Question

Dear Community Members, 
 I have one question regarding the PDF combination in M-Files. I would like to combine 2 or 3 PDF files from the same class and make it one PDF file in M-Files. Is there any possibilities for doing that? Thank you. 
 
 Best regards, 
 Baigal

This is not something that's supported out of the box. 
 The PDF Processor add-on can merge multiple files into one PDF if the merging is happening as part of a process, e.g. combining an agreement and its appendices into one when the agreement is ready for signing and moves to the "Ready for signing" workflow state. 
 If the use case is more about letting users freely combine documents in the client, I believe there are some partner solutions available for that.

There are some partner solutions in this field, one that I'm aware of is Avalia Document Merger but I haven't used it myself so you should contact the developer directly to check the exact functionality and whether it suits your purposes. 
 If you can't find a ready solution then it's possible to develop a custom extension for this (using VAF and some PDF manipulation library such as Aspose). 
 As you are working for a reseller, I recommend that you raise this with the local channel team in case they have other suggestions. You can also discuss the requirements for the custom extension with them if that's what's needed in the end.
