Little things that make live easier #8: Using ghostscript to merge PDFs

Today, a friend asked me if I could join multiple PDFs into one. Apparently, she tried it with one of the various online mergers, but without success.

A quick google search brought me to the always helpful superuser.com site, particularly this answer.

In short, multiple PDFs can be joined so

c:\> gswin32c.exe -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite ^ -sOutputFile="final.pdf" ^ 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf ... n.pdf
