joinPDF is a command line tool to join PDF files. When you have to deal with joining several files it is much faster than using Adobe Acrobat. However, it will not join PDF files which have security enabled, it will generate an error.

The code is actually from the iText project. I added a shell script and created an installer. Hope people find it as useful as I did.

To install download and decompress the sit file. Then run the installer.

To use the application, open a Terminal window and type joinPDF. The structure of the command is as follows:

joinPDF destfile file1 file2 [file3 ...] (This tools needs at least 3 parameters:)

A graphical front end has been kindly been provided T.Klussmeier. It is included in this archive and requires separate installation. This is a command line tool to join PDF files.
