Technical Notes
Ensure that the specified 'Pdf file name' path is valid and accessible by the system executing the activity. If the source PDF is password-protected, the 'Password' field must exactly match the document's password. The 'Start page' and 'End page' values must be valid page numbers within the range of the source PDF, with 'Start page' being less than or equal to 'End page'.
