Hi @ewilson.

I'm trying to execute the "Merge Files" action, but I'm facing the following error.



Should I do something else besides this: "Copy "PdfSharp.dll" to the Blue Prism installation folder "C:\Program
Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate""?

Thank you in advance.

@LuisCanales,

That error seems to indicate the robot doesn't have permissions to access the target folder. I'm assuming this is where you're trying to write the newly merged PDF?

Hi Eric,

Is there any workaround for this issue? I want to merge multiple PDFs to one.

Internal : Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: Cannot handle iref streams. The current implementation of PDFsharp cannot handle this PDF feature introduced with Acrobat 6.

Hello @sahana mohan,

The PDFSharp folks have released a beta version of a revised PDFSharp library. I haven't tested it myself, but it may help you out. You can download the Nuget package from the link below (use the Download package link on the right of the screen). If you're not familiar with Nugets, they're basically just zip files. Once you download the package you can change the file extension to ".zip" and open it with File Explorer, WinZip, etc. From there, you'll want to pull out the PDFSharp DLL and place it in your Blue Prism Automate folder. Then you can try your process again and see if it's capable of dealing with those newer PDFs.

In my experience, Supertool will be beneficial to you if you want to merge multiple PDF files into one. There are also other basic features available for editing PDFs, such as color PDFs.
