Simple tool to split and merge multiple pdf files
I wanted to quickly select pages from pdf files and merge them into a single document but I did not find any usable tool...So I made one in a few minutes 😃
pip3 install git+https://github.com/gaborvecsei/pdf-split-merge.git
Write a config file like this (sample_config.txt):
D:/my_folder/my_pdf_1.pdf 1-10,16,22
D:/my_folder/my_pdf_23.pdf 1-40
D:/my_folder/my_pdf_4.pdf 6,8,9-20
This means it will process the files sequentially top-down and include only the defined pages in the final pdf document.
pdfsm -i sample_config.txt -o split_and_merge.pdf
You can use different file encoding:
pdfsm -i sample_config.txt -o split_and_merge.pdf -e utf8
