Convert ASCII to BINARY
Here is what I did . . . . I FTP'd several *.pdf files from a web site to a UNIX server, and did not set the transfer mode to BIN, now Adobe thinks that the documents are corrupted. Is there a way to convert the *.pdf files to Binary so that Adobe can open them again. I would just re-download them, but the web site is off the air now!
Thanks for any help you can provide.

pdfconcat
PDFCONCAT(1) General Commands Manual PDFCONCAT(1)
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 docu-
ment. 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
-o output.pdf
Place output in file output.pdf
SEE ALSO
imgmerge(1), xpaint(1).
