Hi All,

I have a dictionary variable with a pdf name as key and some other pdf names as a string values separated by coma ( , ), now i want to merge those documents ( Key and the all the files name in value ) in a single pdf file with the name of the key. But I can’t find any activity to do so.

This is the Dictionary variable structure

You can use the String: Split action to extract all the file names in the dictionary value and save them as a list.

Then, you can use make a copy of the first item in the newly generated list, which is located at index 0, and give the copy the name of the dictionary key.
Note: Don't forget to add '.pdf’ to the dictionary key.

Next, iterate over each one of the values in the list from index 1 to index List:size -1.

The loop must start from index 1 to skip the first item in the list because that's the file that will be copied and used as the base.
The size of the list minus 1 is equal to the last index of the list.

Finally, use the PDF: Merge documents action as shown in the following image:
