NAME
pdfconcat - program to concatenate several PDF files.
SYNOPSIS
pdfconcat -o outfile.pdf input1.pdf [inputN.pdf ...]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pdfconcat command.
pdfconcat is a small and fast command-line utility written in ANSI C
that can concatenate (merge) several PDF files into a long PDF
document. External libraries are not required, only ANSI C functions
are used. Several features of the output file are taken from the first
input file only. For example, outlines (also known as hierarchical
bookmarks) in subsequent input files are ignored. pdfconcat compresses
its input a little bit by removing whitespace and unused file parts.
This program has been tested on various huge PDFs downloaded from the
Adobe web site, plus an 1200-pages long mathematics manual typeset by
LaTeX, emitted by pdflatex, dvipdfm and ‘gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite’,
totalling 5981 pages in a single PDF file.
OPTIONS
