@wubzz can you help me on this please? I already searched the other possible like installing the pdftk, but can't find any solution.

@wubzz UPDATE:

I tried to use this

PDFMerge(pdfFiles, { output: 'temp/batch/batch1.pdf', libPath: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PDFtk\bin' })
                    .then(() => {
                        res.writeHead(200);
                        res.end();
                    });

then I encountered this,

Unhandled rejection Error: spawn C:Program Files (x86)PDFtkin ENOENT

@pwong2 Either add C:/Program Files (x86)/PDFtk/bin to your path, or change option libPath to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PDFtk\\bin\\pdftk.exe.

Your second attempt was almost correct. But you have to escape the backslashes.
