I sometimes want to combine two or three PDF files into one (to print them
|
||
|
|
two pages on a sheet, mostly).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I did this recently and here I write it down again so I can find it again
|
||
|
|
(I will forget this until the next time I need it again):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
$ gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=output.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf ...
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Found on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2507766/merge-convert-multiple-pdf-files-into-one-pdf/2507825#2507825).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also found another solution (further down at the link above) usable, but it produces much bigger files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
$ qpdf --empty --pages *.pdf -- out.pdf
|
||
|
|
```
