The PDF Merger API can merge mixed files into a single PDF. It also allows you to select files inside a Zip file to include or exclude in the merge. You can do this in the Custom Profiles field using the zipExcludeFilter and zipIncludeFilter.
You can use the wildcards * and ?. Here is the sample format:
{ "zipExcludeFilter": "image4.jpg,License.pdf" }// include PDF, XLS and XLSX files"zipIncludeFilter": "*.pdf,*.xls*",// exclude DOC, DOCX, XLS and XLSX files"zipExcludeFilter": "*.doc*,*.xls*"
In this tutorial, we learned how to merge mixed files into a single PDF. We also explored the include and exclude filter so you can choose specific files to merge.
