Utility: Replace PDF

Description

Replace PDF is a Java utility method that swaps specific pages in a PDF document with new pages from other files. Use this utility within a User Defined Java Class step when your workflow needs to assemble or update a multi-page PDF — for example, replacing outdated pages in a report with revised versions. It accepts an input PDF, an array of replacement files (PDF, JPEG, JPG, or PNG) paired with the target page numbers, and writes the result to an output PDF file path.
