#DynamicDocumentGenerator Hi, I'm trying to use the Dynamic Document Generator plugin by merging multiple DOCX documents using DOCX Merge and then converting to a PDF using PDF from DOCX. What seems to be happening is that the PDF from DOCX only converts the first document that was entered into the DOCX Merge. The merged document, however, contains all pages from all source documents. I'm assuming the page breaks added to merge the documents is causing this issue. If you open the merged DOCX document, save it, and rerun it through PDF from DOCX, it works. This issue can be recreated using any 2 DOCX documents. Is this a known issue? Does anyone know a work-around for this?

@jitendrap I am not aware of the actual issue but you can make a work around where the multiple documents will be converted into PDF by using 'PDF from DOCX' in the first place and then you can finally merge the generated PDF documents into a single document by using 'Merge PDF' smart service in 'PDF Tools' Shared Component at https://forum.appian.com/suite/tempo/records/type/components/item/i8BCLGOdlMUpdGVqT-RV7oRg74uEGJO5yQZ7MpzhduWHwyNAKZtKRO8ZUtPHppHKQ/view/summary. This will serve you as a work around, just in case if there is a problem with merged DOCX document.
