pdfjam

Shell frontend for the LaTeX pdfpages package for mingling PDFs. More information: https://github.com/pdfjam/pdfjam/blob/master/doc/pdfjam-help.txt.

• Merge two (or more) PDFs:

pdfjam {{path/to/file1.pdf path/to/file2.pdf ...}} {{[-o|--outfile]}} {{path/to/output_file.pdf}}

• Merge the first page of each file together:

pdfjam {{path/to/file1.pdf 1 path/to/file2.pdf 1 ...}} {{[-o|--outfile]}} {{path/to/output_file.pdf}}

• Merge subranges from two PDFs:

pdfjam {{path/to/file1.pdf 3-5,1}} {{path/to/file2.pdf 4-6}} {{[-o|--outfile]}} {{path/to/output_file.pdf}}

• Sign an A4 page (adjust delta to height for other formats) with a scanned signature by overlaying them:

pdfjam {{path/to/file.pdf}} {{path/to/signature}} --fitpaper true {{[-o|--outfile]}} {{path/to/signed.pdf}} --nup "{{1x2}}" --delta "{{0 -842pt}}"

• Arrange the pages from the input file into a fancy 2x2 grid:

pdfjam {{path/to/file.pdf}} --nup {{2x2}} --suffix {{4up}} --preamble '{{\usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy}}}'

• Reverse the order of pages within each given file and concatenate them:

pdfjam {{path/to/file1.pdf last-1 path/to/file2.pdf last-1 ...}} --suffix {{reversed}}
