Problem this solves

Users need to combine daily reports into a single PDF for distribution or split batch scans into individual documents.

Usage Notes

  1. 1.Pdf.MergeFiles accepts a List variable of file paths, not a DataTable.
  2. 2.Pdf.ExtractPages PageSelection supports single pages, ranges, and comma-separated combinations.
  3. 3.PAD has no native get PDF page count action — Pattern 2 includes a PowerShell workaround using iTextSharp.
  4. 4.IfFileExists: Pdf.IfFileExists.AddSequentialSuffix prevents overwriting.
