Merge PDF files in argument order

Use jetformat pdf merge to merge PDF files in argument order.

By Jetformat

List PDFs in the order recipients should read them. Merging rendered documents preserves a page-oriented workflow without returning to editable Office sources.

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 merge a.pdf b.pdf -o book.pdf

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--merge-forms Merge AcroForm fields
--output Output PDF path (required)

Check the result

Run pdf info on each input and the result, then review the pages at file boundaries.

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 merge --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the pdf command reference for the surrounding workflow.
