# PDF: Combine Multiple

> Learn about using FlowEQ to combine multiple PDF files into one

<Note>
  Generating PDFs is an addon for the FlowEQ platform. Please contact [billing@floweq.com](mailto:billing@floweq.com) or your Customer Success Manager to enable this feature for your account or to learn more.

If your team handles a lot of documents, or if you've been using the **PDF: Create from Template** steptype across multiple Flows, there's a good chance that you'd like to consolidate them together for legal reasons or just easier handling.

But combining PDFs manually can require expensive software and be time-consuming. Luckily, we have the **PDF: Combine Multiple** steptype to take care of it for you.

## Step Configuration

In addition to the general step configuration options, this step has the following specific options that can be configured.

### Automatically complete when PDF available?

Check this box to automatically advance to the next step as soon as the combined PDF is available.

### \*\*(Optional) Create a variable for the document ID

If you want to refer to this document later on in the Flow, like adding it to a record field or hyperlink in a public reply, you can use this field to create a custom variable.

You can name this whatever you like, but we recommend keeping it concise. To refer to this newly combined document as a variable you'll need to wrap the name you give it with variable headers.

For example, if you want to give the combined document a variable name of `invoice` you'll need to wrap the variable with a pdfID prefix and brackets so it appears as `<%- pdfId_invoice %>`.

For the rest of the Flow session, any time you reference `<%= pdfId_invoice %>`, the combined document you created in this steptype will be rendered.
