Merge all pdf files from one folder
I have 250 pdf files in one folder that I want to merge in one document. The order does not matter. Is there a simple way of doing it?
I can use PDF-Shuffler as suggested here https://askubuntu.com/a/2805/247771 but the progam hangs for 10 minutes befor it has loaded all the pdfs.
Can I achive this maybe with an inline command like
pdftk *.pdf output mergedfiles.pdf
?
I would use pdfunite
. It is nice and simple. cd
to your directory. Then use something like this:
pdfunite *.pdf all.pdf
(Before running, make sure you don't already have a file called all.pdf
in that directory.)
Thanks to steeldriver who showed me that this is doing the job:
pdftk *.pdf cat output mergedfiles.pdf
You can use qpdf as pdftk is not available in Ubuntu Bionic:
qpdf --empty --pages *.pdf -- out.pdf
