const { PDFDocument } = require('pdf-lib')

// files = [{ fileName: 'test1.pdf, content: arraybuffer },{ fileName: 'test2.pdf, content: arraybuffer }]

mergePdfs: async function (files) {
        try {
            const mergedPdf = await PDFDocument.create()

            for (let file of files) {
                const pdf = await PDFDocument.load(file.content)
                const copiedPages = await mergedPdf.copyPages(pdf, pdf.getPageIndices())
                copiedPages.forEach((page) => mergedPdf.addPage(page))
            }

            const mergedPdfFile = await mergedPdf.save()
            const buffer = Buffer.from(mergedPdfFile)
            return await buffer.toString('base64') // return as buffer or base64 encoded file
        } catch (err) {
            console.error(err.message)
        }
