I can't the following to work - says FileList not recognized?
'Copy all PDF files in source path into an array
arrPDFFileList = FileList(argPDFSourcePath, "*.pdf", False)
If IsEmpty(arrPDFFileList) Then MsgBox "No PDF files were found!",
vbCritical, "FILES NOT FOUND!": Call CommonEnd(True)


Public Function PDFCombineFiles(argPDFSourcePath As String,
argDestinationPath As String, argDestinationFileName As String)
'FUNCTION COMBINES ALL PDF FILES IN THE SOURCE PATH INTO A SINGLE PDF
DOCUMENT;
Dim arrPDFFileList() As Variant
Dim strFullPath As String
Dim intX As Integer
Dim intLastPage As Integer
Dim intNumPagesToInsert As Integer

It looks like FileList is a function that returns an array of file names.
As you have not included it, that's just a guess.
But I suspect you are missing it, so you will need to replicate whatever it
was designed to do.
