Merge pdfs

Using Ghostscript

Ghostscript has a feature to merge multiple pdf files into one. Although ImageMagick also has this feature, I prefer this one, as it doesn't rasterize and scales down the pdf files.

gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
    -sOUTPUTFILE=output.pdf \
    -dBATCH 1.pdf 2.pdf
