Hello @Tesla,

Hope this could help you,there is an example of looping files in Library pane. Library pane shows a list of folders containing workflows. Any workflow from Library can be added to a workflow by dragging and dropping it into the designer workspace, just like any activity.

Take a look at this:

@Tesla I’ve just created a sample code for you and it’s almost same as @Susana has shared the info above.
Test_ReadPdfFiles.xaml (8.5 KB)

@tiruraj89, Select the library which is beside activities panel and then snippets,In the Loops You find for each file in a folder, give your folder path.Use open application (or) start process and give your pdf reader.exe path and pass the pdf file argument which you extracted from for loop and change the selector to dynamic to execute multiple pdf’s.
