How this automation works

Merge PDFs and save the combined file to Dropbox. It runs when a new file is added to the Microsoft OneDrive folder you choose, asks PDF.co to merge the PDF URLs you provide (you can include the new file's URL), and uploads the merged PDF to Dropbox. Ideal for combining incoming reports or invoices from Microsoft OneDrive into a single Dropbox file for easier sharing and backup.
