PDF - Merge and Extract Pages (Split) activities

Activities for Merge PDFs and Extract Pages from PDF, both the nuget package and the source code. A client asked about them and I found them easy enough to implement, I am using the iText library to handle PDF files. For Merge PDFs the input should be an array of strings (path to each PDF) you can add as many as you want. For Extract Pages the input should be the pdf path as string, you can add a password if necessary, and the range is a string in the form “1,4-5.3.6-7” (so groups separated by…

Thank!

This is quite confusing. Lets say if split into ranges 1-4,…40-45.
what if 1-4 file size is greater than 5mb ?

I think this will not work in my case. because now there is possibility to have more than 50+ files.

is there any way to check length of files and then join accordingly ?

Thanks

Hi guys,

@prashantP,

Check this xaml, Used linq query inside invoke code.

It will return List(Of List(Of Fileinfo)), so you can merger the files by lists

SplitFilesBasedOnSize.xaml (9.4 KB)

Hi @sarathi125

and getting below output.

@prashantP,

Then I think those 6 PDFs files total size may be less than 5MB and those are only the files in that directory?

[prashantP]

@sarathi125

now I inserted 20mb pdf file in same location

so it is grouping now ?

my next step should be inside body ?

Sorry bro but honestly I am not getting it.

kindly advise.

Thanks @sarathi125

@prashantP,

Yes, In the Inner For Each loop you need to merge the list of files available in that as a PDF.

Thanks @sarathi125

This what i did

But output of this is highlighted in red below “new.pdf”

If I am not wrong here we are not calculating sum of file size. Right?
because file name “ef1710en.pdf” size = 4655kb and

I think we need sum of file size and group them and then merge or join group wise into one file ?

Please correct me and suggest me.

@prashantP,

The files are grouped into List(Of Fileinfo), so you need to pass that to the Merge PDF activity as shown below.
