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).
