Merge additional pages

Hey ​@srinivasgogula welcome aboard 👋

Currently there’s no direct way to “merge” PDFs within DataSnipper, but I believe there are a couple of workarounds you could use:

• Keep the files as separate docs. You can import the new pages as separate PDFs and continue snipping. This preserves all existing snips with no risk and is the solution I would suggest.
• If a single combined PDF is required (could you let me know why that would be?), merge the PDFs outside Excel, then re-import the merged file as an additional document and re-snip only what’s needed. For traceability, keep the original PDF(s) in the workbook rather than replacing them, so existing snips remain intact. More work, but could still get you what you are after.

Also a couple of tips to ensure you don’t do more work than needed (that’s what we do here 🤣):

• Use DataSnipper’s Document Organizer to keep the originals and the merged files clearly labeled (if you follow the second option).
• If only a few references from the new pages are needed, snip them from the separate “new pages” PDF to avoid re-sourcing prior snips.
• If you are using UpLink, you’ll be able to use a feature called “Smart Split” to split PDFs into separate files. So you should consider collecting everything already merged and then split as required automatically through UpLink

Let us know if the above helps ​@srinivasgogula and what you ended up doing, so that the rest of the community can also benefit 😉
