![]() Just copy it in the folder with the PDFs and execute from there. The following Bash script merges all available PDFs in a folder one by one and gives a success status after each merge. I had the problem that a few PDF merges produced some error messages.Īs it is quite a lot trial and error to find the corrupt PDFs, I wrote a script for it. Here is a Bash script which checks for merging errors. ![]() UPDATE: first of all thanks for all your nice comments!! just a tip that may work for you guys, after googleing, I found a superb trick to shrink the size of PDFs, I reduced with it one PDF of 300 MB to just 15 MB with an acceptable resolution! and all of this with the good ghostscript, here it is: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/default -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -dDetectDuplicateImages -dCompressFonts=true -r150 -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf ![]() In this way you wouldn't need to install anything else, just work with what you already have installed in your system (at least both come by default in my box). ![]() In both cases the ouput resolution is much higher and better than this way using convert: convert -density 300x300 -quality 100 mine1.pdf mine2.pdf merged.pdf Or even this way for an improved version for low resolution PDFs (thanks to Adriano for pointing this out): gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -sOutputFile=merged.pdf mine1.pdf mine2.pdf Try the good ghostscript: gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=merged.pdf mine1.pdf mine2.pdf ![]()
