Hello All,
I have a macro that works perfectly fine, it merges all the PDF files from a file path specified by the user into a single PDF file. I was hoping to see if there is a way to rearrange the merged pdf file in a specific order? For example i want to put some files after appendix A some after appendix B and so on. The page numbers might vary with each file so i dont think i can use some type of page number but rather just use the appendixes. Thank you for your assistance.
This is the code I'm using right now which only merges multiple PDFs in a folder.
