pdf_combine: the system cannot find the file specified #84

Closed arndtupb closed 3 years ago

arndtupb commented 3 years ago

Applying the pdf_combine function pdf_combine(list.files(path = "C:/Users/user/Desktop/input", pattern= ".pdf"), output = file.path("C:/Users/user/Desktop/output", paste("Combined.pdf"))) leaves me with the following error message:
Error in normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : path[1]="ABC.pdf": The system cannot find the file specified

file.exists("C:/Users/user/Desktop/input/ABC.pdf") [1] TRUE & pdf_length("C:/Users/user/Desktop/input/ABC.pdf") [1] 12

For me, this indicates an issue with the pdf_combine function.

This is not related to pdftools, but if you add full.names = TRUE to list.files() then you get the full file path.
