I am trying to use Nitro PDF reader via the command line from Blueprism. Information here: https://kb.gonitro.com/knowledgebase/#/search/command/000004309
"Combine PDF Files
Nitro Pro: NitroPDF.exe /m E.g.: C:\Program Files\Nitro\Pro\12>NitroPDF.exe /m C:\Users\amanenti\Desktop\test.pdf C:\Users\amanenti\Desktop\test2.pdf
You can also insert the “/INS=before|after” switch. Eg.: NitroPDF.exe /INS=before Eg2.: NitroPDF.exe /INS=after "
This is working for me when my filepath has no space. eg "C:\Users\mcandrewe\Desktop\Test.pdf"
However, it does not work when the path has spaces.
Argument
"/m" & Chr(34) & "T:\Team Shares\Blue Prism\Shared Files\Customer\Member Requests\Member Downloads\2020\04\01\Post\123456789\112233 EOB 28_05_2018.pdf" & Chr(34) & "T:\Team Shares\Blue Prism\Shared Files\Customer\Member Requests\Member Downloads\2020\04\01\Post\123456789\112234 EOB 28_05_2018.pdf"
Error:The Creation Process encountered an error. (Even though this should combine not create)
For file paths containing whitespace, you need to enclose your path in double quotes ("). As you've discovered, since they're also used to delineate strings in Blue Prism expressions, you can't just use them straight away.
Blue Prism follows VB.NET-style escape sequences. With this knowledge, you can double-double quote where you'd like to use a double quote character within a string. Your argument for the Utility - Environment VBO's Run Process action would then look something like:
"/m ""T:\Team Shares\Blue Prism\Shared Files\Customer\Member Requests\Member Downloads\2020\04\01\Post\123456789\112233 EOB 28_05_2018.pdf"" ""T:\Team Shares\Blue Prism\Shared Files\Customer\Member Requests\Member Downloads\2020\04\01\Post\123456789\112234 EOB 28_05_2018.pdf"""
It will look slightly different with the concatenation if you're attempting to pass paths from Data Items, however. The quotes tend to get a bit unwieldy, but are still usable:
"/m """ & [File Path 1] & """ """ & [File Path 2] & """"
