ZIP Output PDF file

[johnparecto]

Hi Alteryx Champions,

I am creating numbers of PDF based on the numbers of transactions. My concern is to automatically zip the output file through alteryx and assigned 9pdfs per output in one ZIP file.

Example I have 20 PDF outputs, I want to divide 9 pds per one zip file. 

Is that possible? I know doing this manually is possible just go to the folder and compress. However, I am not just creating 20 pdfs, it is thousands and it is tiring and time consuming to do it manually.

I thought if this is possible in alteryx given the workflow below.

You could do this with a run command 

The example attatched zips all the CSV's in a folder, so for your example you should amend Formula (8) to "'tar -a -c -f "'+[ZipFile]+'.zip" *.pdf*'"

The top text tool is where you'd put the folder containing your pdf files
