Merging Files with the Same Name

[Guest]

I'm fairly new at using acrobat but was wondering if there was a way using action wizard or javascript to merge files with the same name from 4 different folders?

I would like to generate 80 PDF files of survey results for 80 different students. The survey had 4 parts, but results are fragmented in 4 folders labeled "Part 1" , "Part 2" , "Part 3", and "Part 4" on my desktop. Each folder has 80 pdfs labeled "Student 1", "Student 2" .... "Student 80". 

I have a 5th folder on my desktop labeled "Merged Reports" where I'm storing files I manually combined. Is there a script I could write that will generate 80 pdf files in Merged Report one for each student with  part 1, 2 , 3 and then part 4? Hopefully that made sense.

Yes, it's possible, using a combination of an Action and a script.

For example, this (paid-for) tool I've developed will do so with two folders:

I can adjust it to also work with four folders. If you're interested in purchasing something like that feel free to contact me privately by clicking my user-name and then on "Send a Message", and we could discuss it further.
