Using 2PDF to Combine PDFs

PhixFlow generates one PDF for each record processed by a file exporter. You may want all the PDFs produced by the file exporter to be presented as pages in a single PDF. For example, each PDF is a single letter, and you want to have them in a single PDF for easy printing.

It is not possible to combine PDFs using PhixFlow. Instead, you must use the 2PDF command line tool; see fCoder 2PDF: Command Line PDF Converter - 2PDF (cmd2pdf.com)

2PDF can concatenate many PDFs into a single PDF. 

The following steps provide a guideline for how to use 2PDF with PhixFlow.

Step 1: Download and Install 2PDF.

Step 2: Create

  • an input directory for the individual PDFs
  • an output directory for the single concatenated PDF.

Step 3: Run the Powershell command:

2pdf.exe -src "C:\Input\*.*" -dst "C:\Output" -pdf multipage:append -options template:Combined.pdf

where

"C:\Input\*.*" is the input directory

"C:\Output" is the output directory.

“template:Combined.pdf” is the name of the concatenated PDF.

Step 4: 2PDF processes the PDFs, taking about 2-3 seconds per PDF.

Step 5: When processing is complete, go to your output directory and find your concatenated PDF.
