You can import multiple PDF files selected in the [Open] dialog as layers to merge them into a single PDF file.
You can also perform simple variable printing using the setting for matching the number of pages of the documents to be merged.
To select multiple files in the [Open] dialog, click files while holding down the Ctrl key or Shift key.

Repeat Pages of Shorter Documents |
If the checkbox is checked, when the PDFs to be imported include documents that are shorter than other documents, the pages of those shorter documents are repeated so that each document is the same size when merged. This item allows you to achieve simple variable printing.
Document 1 (CMYK photo file, 1 page) Master page in variable printing
Document 2 (Database file for 16 persons, 16 pages) Variable page in variable printing

The generation of a layered PDF needs to be performed from the [Open] dialog. It is not possible to generate a layered PDF by drop folder input or by dragging and dropping files to XMF Client.
A layer group cannot be created during layered PDF generation.
When the input file is a separated PDF, merging is performed for each separated page. There may be mixed up pages and unintended results.
