Is it possible to combine two PDF files into one using workflow?

Workflow Forms Ideas

I don't think it is, but wanted to ask anyway. We have a LF form that we are using to gather the info and kick off a workflow that then fills out another PDF form with the field variables. Depending on what is selected in the form, users may have to upload documents. We are trying to attach those uploads to the PDF form we fill out inside workflow. Any suggestions, workarounds, or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Bill,

You can use the Script of Workflow activity , with a library like iTextSharp or PDFSharp you can join pdf files.

iTextSharp.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/

PDFSharp.

You must register the library to use in Workflow Administration Console. (Scripting Properties)

and reference it in the script.

regards,

Marco.

If the PDF form is stored in the repository, you may be able to use some of the logic from this.
