Can you share the setup you're trying within the Merge PDF portion? I built a proof of conecpt PDF merging tool using it several months ago and it seemed pretty straightforward. Also, when you say "it's not merging them", what is happening instead?

Hi Allen,

Please try by giving/overriding latest value in the pv!olddocname. I mean save the output of the merge document in pv!olddocname(date type :document) and then pass next loop automatically its takes previously created pdf.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,Barat

Thank you, I am one step closer. It is creating separate PDFs for each event, but sadly it is not merging them.

Hi Allen

1) Please try the smart service -PDF Doc from Template.We use the same for pdf creation (PDF Doc from Template also does the same.)
We need to create template using adobe/other pdf template tools
and then do the proper settings.
ex: for date value : label is "Date" and then on the value
field. Please create with #Date#.. import the template and mention the same. Map the values to pdf custom fields

Save the document name in the output tab in the pv: ex:olddocname

2)Next step is use Merge pdf smart service.

below are the settings
input tab
Create New Document (boolean):false
existing document(Document):pv!olddocname
documents(Document):{to document(pv!olddocname),pv!newdocument}

output tab: save the below value
NewDocumentCreated

After you create the documents, pls try to loop part and merge the docs. Please make sure the always pv!contains latest document..

Please let me know if above logic works for you.

Have a good Day!

That does help, just not sure how to configure the "Fill PDF" and the "Merge PDF" properly.

PDF Tools, I believe, has a "merge PDF" smart service that can make a single PDF out of an arbitrary number of other PDFs, if that's any help.
