file_save Merge is an Activity that creates a PDF, TIF, XML or ZIP file from the page and data content of a Batch Folder and saves it to that Batch Folder.

How To

Creating the Batch Process Step

1. Right-click on the Batch Process.
2. Hover over "Add Activity", then hover over "Transform". Finally, Click on "Merge..."
3. When the "Add Activity" window pops up, feel free to change the name of the step in the Step Name property. For this tutorial we will be using the default of "Merge".
4. Click "EXECUTE" located in the top right hand corner of the pop up window.

5. Now you should have a Merge step in your Batch Process.
6. Your scope should be set to the Folder Level containing the pages that will be combined into a document. In our case that is Folder Level 1, so we have set the Scope property to Folder and the Folder Level property to 1.

Configuring the Merge Activity

1. Click the hambuger icon to the right of the Merge Format property and select the desired file type from the drop down list. For this tutorial, we will select PDF.
