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
