Totally new to switch. Worked how to extract pages from a PDF using the PDF Split pages tool.
Is there a way or re-combining them into one PDF .
Have tried but kept coming up with errors.

After you split them them must be assembled into a folder, using assemble. From there you can use the Merge app to combine them into one.

I'm using the split PDF pages tool, not the .split pdf one. Hope that makes sense.

It would be the same. You need to use an assemble the split pages into a folder, once they are in a folder the merge will put them back to a single PDF.
Depending on how you want to merge the files, you can use the privatedata it creates to help the assemble. We use the <key>.NumFiles a lot for the assemble along with the <key>.JobID
Custom Scheme:

Number of Files

The result will be all the files into a folder, and that folder passed to the Merge app will assemble them into one PDF.
Hope that helps, HAPPY SWITCHING!

Thanks for getting back to me, I did find a work around by entering in the Private Data key box "SplitPDF".
Thanks for the screenshots and other info will come very in handy for the future.
