How can I merge multiple PDF files with the same first 6 characters together, but in separate files?
We have 750 pdf files. Now, we also have another 750 pdf files that need to be joined with the others. They all start with numbers ######. one set of the pdfs has ######_name and the other set just has the numbers ######. The numbers of the files are the same, but the second set doesn't have the _name behind them.
I need to combine each of the 2 that have the same ###### at the start.
567843_Smith, John - 50 pages
567843 - 90 pages
567844_Williams, Jeff - 65 pages
567844 - 100 pages
567845_Jones, Sean - 88 pages
567845 - 20 pages
...
I want to combine them all so I end up with 3 pdfs - the one with the name behind it first and then the second with only the number behind it: Merged 3 PDFs
567843_Smith, John - both pdfs - 140 pages
567844_Williams, Jeff - both pdfs - 165 pages
567845_Jones, Sean - both pdfs - 108 pages
I know I can merge the 2 files one at a time, but I would end up doing it 750 different times.
Any ideas?
Thanks
