Putting together PDF files (NewsForge)

[Posted June 21, 2004 by cook]

Scott Nesbitt shows several ways to merge PDF files under Linux. "Sadly, Adobe hasn't deigned to put out a version of Acrobat for Linux, but there are a number of Linux utilities available that enable you to quickly and efficiently combine PDF files. This article looks at three command line utilities: Ghostscript, joinPDF, and pdfmeld. Each does a good job of combining PDF files, and they all pack some interesting features."

I've found Mad Builder PDF Assembler to be very flexible and useful. It requires some work in setting up a definition file, so for very simple concatenations it's a little extra work, but it does have a great deal of flexibility for more complicated tasks.
