Initialize macros and variables

%LET root = <path>;
%LET out = &root/results;
%LET libPath = &root/lib;

OPTIONS SASAUTOS=(SASAUTOS, "&root/macros");

Create four PDF files which should be merged

%INCLUDE "&root/programs/example_pdf_merge_create_single_pdfs.sas";

Example 1 - Merge PDF Documents - Create long titles¶

Create the content dataset to specify files and bookmark labels

DATA content;
   ATTRIB inFile     FORMAT=$255.;
   ATTRIB bookmark FORMAT=$255.;
   inFile = "&out/input_pdf_merge_1.pdf";
   bookmark = "Table 1: By Group Report about shoes";
   OUTPUT;
   inFile = "&out/input_pdf_merge_2.pdf";
   bookmark = "Table 2: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = Acura";
   OUTPUT;
   inFile = "&out/input_pdf_merge_3.pdf";
   bookmark = "Table 3: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = Audi";
   OUTPUT;
   inFile = "&out/input_pdf_merge_4.pdf";
   bookmark = "Table 4: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = BMW";
   OUTPUT;
RUN;

CONTENT dataset created

INFILE	BOOKMARK
<path>/results/input_pdf_merge_1.pdf	Table 1: By Group Report about shoes
<path>/results/input_pdf_merge_2.pdf	Table 2: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = Acura
<path>/results/input_pdf_merge_3.pdf	Table 3: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = Audi
<path>/results/input_pdf_merge_4.pdf	Table 4: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = BMW

Call macro to merge documents, additionally store GROOVY program

%smile_pdf_merge(
   data            = content
 , outfile         = &out/pdf_merge_output1.pdf
 , pdfbox_jar_path = &libPath/pdfbox-app-2.0.22.jar
 , sourcefile      = &out/pdf_merge_program1.sas
 , run_groovy      = YES
);

Desired PDF file has been created Screenshot

Example 2 - Merge PDF Documents - Create short titles¶

Create the content dataset to specify files and bookmark labels

DATA content2;
   ATTRIB inFile     FORMAT=$255.;
   ATTRIB bookmark FORMAT=$255.;
   inFile = "&out/input_pdf_merge_1.pdf"; bookmark = "Table 1"; OUTPUT;
   inFile = "&out/input_pdf_merge_2.pdf"; bookmark = "Table 2"; OUTPUT;
   inFile = "&out/input_pdf_merge_3.pdf"; bookmark = "Table 3"; OUTPUT;
   inFile = "&out/input_pdf_merge_4.pdf"; bookmark = "Table 4"; OUTPUT;
RUN;

CONTENT dataset created

INFILE	BOOKMARK
<path>/results/input_pdf_merge_1.pdf	Table 1: By Group Report about shoes
<path>/results/input_pdf_merge_2.pdf	Table 2: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = Acura
<path>/results/input_pdf_merge_3.pdf	Table 3: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = Audi
<path>/results/input_pdf_merge_4.pdf	Table 4: Multiple outputs - Cars for make = BMW

Call macro to merge documents

%smile_pdf_merge(
   data            = content2
 , outfile         = &out/pdf_merge_output2.pdf
 , pdfbox_jar_path = &libPath/pdfbox-app-2.0.22.jar
 , sourcefile      = &out/pdf_merge_program2.sas
 , run_groovy      = YES
);

Example 3 - Merge PDF Documents - Do not store GROOVY program¶

Call macro to merge documents, do not store GROOVY program

%smile_pdf_merge(
   data            = content2
 , outfile         = &out/pdf_merge_output2.pdf
 , pdfbox_jar_path = &libPath/pdfbox-app-2.0.22.jar
);
