Automate PDF Merging with Dynamic URL Fetching
detail.loadingPreview
Seamlessly merge multiple PDF documents from dynamic URLs into a single file. This workflow fetches PDF content from specified sources, combines them efficiently, and stores the final merged PDF.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a powerful solution for automating the consolidation of PDF documents. It begins by defining an array of PDF URLs, which are then processed individually. Each PDF is fetched via an HTTP request, and the content is prepared for merging. The workflow leverages a specialized PDF merging node to combine these fetched documents into a single, unified PDF file. Finally, the generated merged PDF is written to disk for easy access and further processing. This ensures a streamlined approach to managing and aggregating PDF resources, saving valuable time and manual effort.
Key Features
- Dynamic URL Fetching: Integrates PDFs from any publicly accessible URL.
- Batch PDF Merging: Combines multiple PDF files into one cohesive document.
- File System Integration: Read and write PDF files directly to your local disk.
- Triggerable Workflow: Easily test and run the automation with a manual trigger.
- Customizable PDF Sources: Define your PDF sources using JavaScript code.
How To Use
- Start the Workflow: Initiate the process by clicking the 'Test workflow' manual trigger.
- Define PDF Sources: Configure the 'PDF Array' node with a JavaScript array containing the URLs of the PDF files you wish to merge.
- Fetch and Prepare PDFs: The 'Split Out' and 'HTTP Request1' nodes will fetch the content of each PDF from the provided URLs.
- Merge PDFs: The 'Merge PDF' node will take the fetched PDF data and combine them into a single PDF file.
- Save the Merged PDF: The 'Read/Write Files from Disk2' node will save the newly merged PDF file to your local disk, named 'test.pdf'.
- Verify the Output: Use the 'Read/Write Files from Disk3' node to confirm the merged PDF has been successfully written.
