Automation Action: Append To PDF Document

Append document content or any text to a PDF document.

Enter or select the PDF File To Append To. This can be a %variable%. If the existing PDF file does not exist it will be created.

Appending Other Documents

You can append other documents and attachments. Supports PDF, Word, Excel, Richtext, OpenDoc, HTML, Text and Markdown files.

Select a Append Documents - this can be any local document file or a %variable% replacement. You can specify multiple documents if required, separated by commas (any file paths that contain commas must be enclosed in quotes).

Enable the Include Incoming Attachments option to append attached documents matching the Matching Mask. Enter *.* to append all supported document types.

Appending Custom Text

In the Append Content entry, you can specify any text to append. This can contain %variable% replacements. You can use plaintext, Markdown or HTML.

You can append Documents or Text Content, or both.

The updated PDF file can be saved with a new name. Specify the Rename Appended File To.

The updated PDF file can be saved to a different location. Specify the Save To Path.

If the original file is not renamed or not saved to a new location then the original PDF file will be updated.

The updated file name can be returned to a variable selected from the Assign Filename To list.

If Delete File After Message Is Processed is enabled then ThinkAutomation will remove the file when the Automation completes for the current message. This is useful if you wish to use the document in the Automation (for example, to send the document as an attachment with the Send Email action), but do not need to keep a local copy afterwards.
