Two input files gives:

All, safe, you'd think?

But one file gives:

A nasty security risk. Sensitive note/comment content could get leaked.

Hello, chrisjj

If there is only one input file, the "merge" action would not make any changes to the input file, causing the tool to proceed to the next action. If you wish to ensure that the comments are flattened, it would be recommended to add the "flatten comments" action to the tool steps. This article describes how to modify your own custom tools: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowle ... -PDF-Tools
