Append another PDF to an existing PDF

Use jetformat pdf insert to append another PDF to an existing PDF.

By Jetformat

The insert command appends every page of --file. It does not insert at an arbitrary middle-page position.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PDF. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat pdf insert book.pdf --file chapter.pdf -o book-updated.pdf

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--file Path of the PDF to insert
--output Output PDF path (required)

Check the result

Compare the output page count with the sum of both inputs and inspect the first appended page.

Notes and limits

This operation uses page-based credits. Review the billing guide before processing a large document.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat pdf insert --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the pdf command reference for the surrounding workflow.
