Combining pdf files in Linux/Unix
Just to show a few examples how to combine pdf files. Let us assume we have three pdf files and now we need to combine them:
- gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=finalcombinedpdf.pdf -dBATCH 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf
- joinpdf myfinalFile.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf
- pdfmeld file1.pdf, file2.pdf, file3.pdf resultcombinedfile.pdf
Some of the other tools available for merging PDF files include pfdtk, Multivalent, and pdcat.
* Ghostscript – A popular tool for viewing Postscript and PDF documents
* joinPDF – A simple, yet effective, PDF merging tool
* pdfmeld – A powerful tool for combining PDF files

Thanks for the info. This was really useful. I’m getting better at messing with the command line, and I have to say, I’m liking it.
