About Join
Join combines -- or concatenates -- multiple PDF files into a single
PDF file. All the PDF files must exist before you attempt to use the
Join process.
When submitting multiple files to a workflow:
• To create a single joined job, Join must be in the workflow.
• To create multiple separate jobs that are processed
individually, Join should not be in the workflow.
Join does not have a settings dialog.

Join operation to fail:

• If the input PDF file is invalid.
• If the output PDF file is locked and cannot be overwritten, or if
the user lacks sufficient security privileges to access the
destination directory.
• If the input PDF file requires a password to open the PDF or
does not permit any of the following: content copying and
extraction, document assembly, or content accessibility.
