I'm receiving binary pdf files from a web service. I've successfully decoded and written them to my file system. However, I would like to combine certain files with a similar attribute into one pdf of multiple pages. Any ideas how I can do this in fme?

I'm thinking you may be able to do this by command line with SystemCaller but I don't think Acrobat supports this operation by command line. Here's an elaborate solution someone undertook where you can write a simpler batch file: https://superuser.com/a/527079

I ended up setting this pdf combining requirement with a webservice called convertapi.com. Slows the workspace down a bit, but it works.
