I've been working on this particular problem for months now and have made no progress... The goal is to have a library of PDFs that you can add to a list, then click a button that will merge whatever PDFs you added and save said merged file to a directory of your choosing. I'm not good at explaining it so here is the whole code:

I can't figure out how to get whatever has been added to the list box and merge them, then choose the directory for said merged file to go. Obviously I could write a "If/Then" statement for every possible combination, but the main file has tens of thousands of individual PDFs. I hope I'm making sense. If I left any helpful information out, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
