Merge
This workflow automatically downloads two remote PDF files, merges them into one file using an API, and finally saves the merged result locally. The entire process requires no manual intervention, making it suitable for scenarios that require batch or scheduled document processing. It significantly improves efficiency, simplifies the cumbersome steps of traditional manual merging, and helps businesses and individuals efficiently manage and archive electronic documents.
