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). AUTHOR

NAME
sam2p_pdf_scale - scale a PDF file from sam2p to a given page size SYNOPSIS
sam2p_pdf_scale {page_width} {page_height} {input.pdf} [output.pdf] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the sam2p_pdf_scale command. It was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. sam2p_pdf_scale reads a PDF file and scales it so that it fits into the given page size, adding margins when needed to keep its aspect ratio. OPTIONS
page_width Page width, in points (1pt = 1/72in). page_height Page height, in points. input.pdf Input file. output.pdf Output file. By default, the input file is replaced. BUGS
