Question

Hello,
I must merge a cover page with a PDF document and repeat this operation 1000 times.

My documents are under this shape:

CartoucheM1TPITRCGCARM21180C
CartoucheM1TPITRCGCARM21181C
CartoucheM1TPITRCGCARMxxxxx_x

M1TPITRCGCARM21180CZONE 01PLOT 8
M1-TPI-TRC-GC-ARM-21181-C-ZONE 01PLOT 8
M1TPITRCGCARMxxxxxxZONE 01_PLOT 8

I would want to merge files having the same numbers:
Cartouche_M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_21180_C merge with M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_21180_C_ZONE 01_PLOT 8 = M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_21180_C_CE_ZONE 01_PLOT 8 (I added _CE)
Cartouche_M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_21181_C merge with M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_21181_C_ZONE 01_PLOT 8 = M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_21181_C_CE_ZONE 01_PLOT 8 (I added _CE)
Cartouche_M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_XXXXX_X merge with M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_XXXXX_X_ZONE 01_PLOT 8 = M1_TPI_TRC_GC_ARM_XXXXX_X_CE_ZONE 01_PLOT 8 (I added _CE)

I have 1000 PDF documents and I want to automate the merger of these documents. Is there any software you can recommend? Thank you for your response.

I don't think there is an application available to do selective batch processing. You will need some programming for that job above, and unfortunately this is not easy to do. Of course, you can use an application to do the batch processing, but the adding part will have to be done manually.

As an application, you can use PDF Split and Merge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/

For the automated process, you need to hire a developer. Try on websites like Freelance or Upwork.
