Effortless PDF Merging with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the merging of multiple PDF files into a single document using this n8n workflow. Seamlessly integrate with ConvertAPI for powerful PDF manipulation.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for automatically merging PDF documents. It leverages the power of ConvertAPI's merging capabilities, allowing you to combine multiple PDFs into one consolidated file. The workflow begins by downloading two sample PDF files from remote URLs. These files are then sent to ConvertAPI via an HTTP Request node, which handles the merging process. The resulting merged PDF is then saved locally to disk. This workflow is ideal for anyone needing to streamline document assembly and management processes, saving time and reducing manual effort.
Key Features
- Automated PDF Merging: Combine multiple PDF files into a single document without manual intervention.
- Remote File Downloading: Easily fetch PDF files from any accessible URL.
- ConvertAPI Integration: Utilizes the reliable ConvertAPI service for efficient PDF merging.
- Local File Saving: Save the merged PDF directly to your disk for easy access.
- Customizable Workflows: Adaptable for merging more than two files or integrating into larger automation sequences.
How To Use
- Set up ConvertAPI Authentication: Create a ConvertAPI account and obtain your authentication secret. Follow the instructions in the 'Sticky Note' node to set up your credentials within n8n.
- Configure Download Nodes: The 'Download first remote PDF File' and 'Download second PDF File' nodes are pre-configured with example URLs. Replace these URLs with the actual URLs of the PDF files you wish to merge.
- Verify Merge API Endpoint: The 'PDF merge API HTTP Request' node is set to the correct ConvertAPI endpoint for PDF merging. Ensure your authentication is correctly configured.
- Define Output File: The 'Write Result File to Disk' node is set to save the merged file as 'document.pdf'. You can change the 'fileName' parameter to your desired output filename.
- Test the Workflow: Click the 'Test workflow' button on the 'When clicking ‘Test workflow’’ node to execute the automation and merge your PDFs.
