  • Combining multiple educational materials into a unified resource package for educational institutions.
  • Organizing evidence or billing documents in legal, financial, and other professional fields.
  • Any scenario requiring regular consolidation of multiple PDF files.

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Manual Trigger: The user initiates the workflow by clicking the “Test workflow” button.
  2. Download PDF Files: Two HTTP request nodes download two PDF files from specified URLs.
  3. Merge Files: The built-in merge node combines the two downloaded PDF files.
  4. PDF Merge Processing: A custom JavaScript node executes the PDF merging operation to ensure optimal merge quality.
  5. Write File to Disk: The merged PDF file is saved locally with the filename “test.pdf.”
  6. File Read Confirmation: The saved PDF file is read back to verify completeness and usability.

Systems or Services Involved

  • HTTP Request Nodes (for downloading PDFs from the internet)
  • Custom JavaScript PDF Toolkit (@custom-js/n8n-nodes-pdf-toolkit)
  • Local File Read/Write System (n8n’s built-in file read/write nodes)
