@VB_Tech_pro Can you also please give an example of what should be the expected output if there are 4 or more pdf’s in the same folder, Also Will the first Prefix in the Pdf files be present as a separate PDF file always in your Scenario ? (CBL124.pdf where CBL124 is a prefix for the other pdf’s in the same folder)

Hi Thanks for reply @supermanPunch
Yes correct if 4th or more file is avilable it should be merge with CBL124(with first prifix) as new file with name as 4th file name.
Example

In merged file 1st page will be JEDBL_INV1***

@VB_Tech_pro Can you check the below workflow :
Merge PDF Files.zip (1.3 MB)

Check the ‘Cnames’ folder and it’s respective pdf’s (example pdf’s). Execute the Workflow. The Output will be generated in the required format.

However we have assumed that there will be always a file in the folder that has the Prefix itself as the filename.

Test the workflow with all the inputs possible and let us know if it does not satisfy any of the test cases and please explain the test data that you have used.
