I have a situation that I need to merge files again by file names. Now, I have files in one folder like this -
A1.pdf, A2.pdf, B1.pdf, C1.pdf, C2.pdf, C3.pdf.
The goal is to merge files by file names and I will get A.pdf, B.pdf, C.pdf. I tried different things in the batch file, but none worked so far. Can you please help?
The real files names are like this below.

the 3rd part (70258083) is the element that works as uinque per batch. In other words, I want to merge files per this element. from the file names listed above, there will be 6 PDF files.
I am using the batch script below to merge two files into one. I don't know how to tweak this to more than 2 files to merge OR leave a single file alone.
Please help.
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for %%# in (115_*.pdf) do ( set n=%%~n# set n=!n:~,-30!
pdftk A=!n!.pdf B=%%# cat B A output C:\IN\_fileNames\Merge\Files\!n!.pdf
)
here is the error screen
