PdfMergeDiscreteParty

Using this ancillary option generates multiple merged PDF documents based on the discrete party or parties specified for each document. If this option is specified the following will occur:
  • A merged PDF is created for each discrete party identified for any document generated.
  • The document packet for each discrete party contains the merged PDF containing the individual PDF documents.
  • The merged PDF for each discrete party includes the following:
    • Documents without any discrete party specified
    • Documents specific to the discrete party (a document could have multiple discrete parties, so it should be included in the multiple merged pdfs and document packages)
  • PdfMergeDiscreteParty can be used as an ancillary output when packets are authored as part of a PKG file or in EZ Config Packages and Packets.
  • The document’s ‘Title’ will be the original PacketName as specified in the PKG file or in EZ Config Packages and Packets
Note: Consider the following:
  • For on-prem Expere Engine users, the response file returns the document instance information for the merged PDF's and individual PDF documents. Note that while the response file returns the document instance information for the individual PDF documents, only a merged PDF document is generated.
  • For Hosted Expere users, the response file returns the document instance information for the merged PDF documents only. Use PdfMergeWithDocInstancesDiscreteParty to return document instance information for the merged and individual PDF documents.
