This is a one off exercise:
I have 10,000 pdf's in about 500 folders.
The pdf's are called a persons name and have a photo of the person in the pdf.
Example:
johnsmith.pdf has a picture of John Smith !
I want to start at a high level folder and drill down into all lower folders looking for pdf's.
REQUIREMENT: One large PDF containing all the smaller ones.
Also, I need to be able to search the PDF and find the photo of "John Smith" or whoever.
