PDF Combine Pro X ships with PDFCombineX.exe, a console binary you can drive from scripts, scheduled tasks, CI runners, or any backend service. Unlike the standard PDF Combine, the Pro build ingests mixed input types — PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, RTF, TXT, HTML, MSG, EML, TIFF, JPEG — and welds them into one PDF in a single pass. For the full flag reference see the command-line documentation. The recipes below cover the cases we hear about most often from server-license customers.
The headline use case: a Word brief, an Excel pricing sheet, a scanned TIFF appendix, and two existing PDFs all become one deliverable. Pro accepts every input type in the same wildcard mask.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\project\*.*" "C:\out\Project-Final.pdf" -cPDF
Use -sort name or -sort numbers to control the page order, and -sort date to merge in chronological order of edits.
When the order matters and the files live in different folders, pass them as a list separated by chr(13). On the command line the easiest equivalent is the multi-source form below — PDF Combine Pro X reads each path in turn and respects the sequence you give it.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\briefs\cover.docx" "C:\briefs\contract.pdf" "C:\briefs\pricing.xlsx" "C:\briefs\scan.tif" "C:\out\Bundle.pdf" -cPDF
For worker processes that write a queue to disk, you don't want to encode file paths into the command line. -list reads file masks (one per line) from a plain text file — Word docs, spreadsheets and PDFs can all coexist in the same list.
PDFCombineX.exe -list "C:\queues\bundle.txt" "C:\out\Bundle.pdf" -cPDF -bstyle file
-bstyle file turns each source file name into a top-level bookmark, so the resulting PDF has a navigable outline that mirrors the input list.
Architectural and legal projects rarely live in one flat folder. -Recurse walks subdirectories; -combine folder emits one PDF per folder instead of one giant file, and -kfs keeps the source folder structure on the output side.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\projects\AcmeCase\*.*" "C:\out\AcmeCase\" -cPDF -Recurse -combine folder -kfs
When file names share a common prefix — Case-2024-001-cover.docx, Case-2024-001-evidence.pdf, Case-2024-001-photos.tif — -combine name tells the converter to pool files by that shared root and produce one PDF per case.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\inbox\*.*" "C:\out\" -cPDF -combine name -npr 13
-npr sets how many leading characters count as the «common name» — tune it to match the length of your case-number prefix.
For long deliverables, a bookmark tree and a TOC page turn a 400-page PDF into something a reviewer can actually navigate. -bookmark creates the outline, -content inserts a TOC page at the front.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\project\*.*" "C:\out\Final.pdf" -cPDF -bookmark -bstyle file -bpdf -content -toclinestyle Dot
-bpdf additionally lifts existing bookmarks out of any source PDF instead of flattening them.
Standard for legal disclosure and bid packages: a page-number footer, a date stamp, and a header label. [page], [count] and [date] are macros that the converter substitutes per page.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\disclosure\*.*" "C:\out\Disclosure.pdf" -cPDF -HeadText "CONFIDENTIAL — ACME LLC" -HeadAlign center -FootText "Page [page] of [count] — [date]" -FootAlign right
For sending bundles to outside counsel or subcontractors: an owner password locks edit/print permissions, a user password gates opening the file, and -perm grants exactly the rights you want.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\project\*.*" "C:\out\Sealed.pdf" -cPDF -mp "owner-pwd" -up "user-pwd" -perm Print -perm Copy
Combine any of Print, Copy, Modify, Annotation, FormFill, Accessibility, DocAssembly, HighResPrint to dial in the permission set.
For records-management workflows that demand ISO 19005 PDF/A, populated authoring metadata and a PFX-based signature on the final document.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\archive\Case-2024-001\*.*" "C:\archive\out\Case-2024-001.pdf" -cPDF -pdfa -PDFAuthor "Acme Legal" -PDFTitle "Case 2024-001 Bundle" -PDFSubject "Disclosure" -PFXFile "C:\certs\acme.pfx" -PFXPass "cert-pwd" -SignName "DocSig" -SignLoc "London" -SignRes "Authenticity"
Once PDFCombineX.exe runs as a service or scheduled job, the only way to know what happened is the log. -verbosity detail writes one line per file; -logmode append keeps history across runs; -fo overwrites stale output without prompting.
PDFCombineX.exe "C:\inbox\*.*" "C:\out\<DATE>_<TIME:hhmm>.pdf" -cPDF -fo -log "C:\logs\pdfcombine.log" -verbosity detail -logmode append
The <DATE> and <TIME> macros expand into the destination path, so each run writes a uniquely named bundle without you having to compute the file name in the wrapper script.
