how to differentiate pdf files files in a folder by file name and merge into pdf files based on last modified date using VBA
According to my work,I have a folder which contains some pdf files.
1.I need to merge files into 2 separate files.(File names ends with ABCRDF & ABCOSD into single merged file and all other pdf files into another merged file.
2.So after merging we will have only 2 pdf files.One which contains file names ends with ABCRDF & ABCOSD.And other merged file with all files except above 2 files.
3.Merging should be done by last modified time stamp.
I have code which merge all the files present in a folder into a single pdf based last modified time stamp.It wont differentiate files based on file names.It will take all the files present and merge to a single pdf file.I will attach the same here.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated..!!

Thank you for your response.
Actually both merged file names should be different for both files..In above only one dest file name is mentioned..Could you please help me on that also.
I am getting the below error while running the above code.

I tried with above code..now one resulted file is created name as mergedfile1.pdf which contains only one file which has high last modified timestamp among all ABCRDF and ABCOSD files.And the second resulted file is not get created also.
Ideally It should includes all the files which ends with ABCRDF and ABCOSD.But while running this code , now it is taking only one file (Which got created first ) among all the ABCRDF and ABCOSD files.
I am attaching the error also.

Hi ,
Sorry for the late reply.
2 output files are getting created named as mergedFile1 and mergedFile2. But first merged file contains only one file, filename ends with ABCRDF(it's LastModifiedTime is most recent among all ABCRDF and ABCOSD files). Next output file contains again only one file which is having second least LastModifiedTime among all ABCRDF and ABCOSD files.Rest of the input files are not getting added to any of these 2 output files.
While running above code, First output file(MergedFile1) got created as explained above and after that dialogue box appeared saying " Cannot Insert pages of input folder path" .Then next output file(MergedFile2) got created.
Any help regarding this would be appreciated :-)

Hi,
Thanks for your assistance.
I tried with above code.Every files with ABCRDF file name combined and merged into one file and all files with ABCOSD merged into other file.
But our requirement is filename ends with both ABCRDF and ABCOSD should combine and merge into single file(MergedFile1).Rest of the files should combine into other output file(MergedFile2)

Now every file present in the folder is getting combined and merged into 2nd output file(MergedFile2). When debugging,I noticed ,for creating 2nd output file,it is taking MergedFile1 too(because it is getting created already and present in the same path).
1st Output file contain both files ends with ABCRDF and ABCOSD plus some more files present in the folder.

Hello All,
Good day...
I tried with above code..
1.Now output file 1(MergedFile1) contains all the files ends with ABCRDF and ABCOSD as expected.
2.But Merged file2 contains all the files present in the folder..While merging files,It is taking MergedFile1 also..As per our requirement,It should not take MergedFile1.
