Description
pdfcat concatenates two or more pdf's to one pdf. If a specified filename has no
.pdf extension, it is added. If no output file is specified, standard output is used. The output pdf page size will be A4, unless the
--geometry option is used. With the
--crop option, every page will be cropped with zero margin, unless the
--margins option specifies other margins. The
--margins option implies
--crop and specifies left, top, right, and bottom margins in mm in a space separated string, which must of course be double quoted. The value can also be a single number, which is used for all margins. If this option is not used,
--crop will apply zero margins.
