MergeFileListStrict
Document manipulation
Description
Merges a named file list and writes the merged PDF to OutputFileName. It uses the same tagged PDF, outline, form-field, and annotation preservation path as MergeFileList.
Unlike MergeFileList, strict mode stops at the first unreadable, encrypted, corrupt, or missing input. Use it when the earlier stop-on-first-failure behaviour is required.
