Description:

pdfmerge 1.0.0

pdfmerge
Command-line utility for merging, splicing, and rotating PDF documents.



Changelog - Issues - Documentation
Why?
I find myself merging bits of different PDFs fairly regularly and really wanted a simple CLI way to do it.
Install
python -m pip install pdfmerge

Usage
$ pdfmerge [-h] [--version] [-o FILE|--output FILE] [-p PASSWORD|--password PASSWORD] PATH[RULE[, RULE ...]] [PATH[RULE, ...]] ...]



-o, --output output file (default: output.pdf).
Must not be any of the input files.


-p, '--password` password for encrypted files (default: empty string).


PATH a file, directory, or wildcard string (e.g., file*.pdf) of files
to merge.


RULE an optional string indicating which pages to extract and rotate.
The syntax for each rule is:
[START][..][END][ROTATE]

Where START and END are positive (1-based) or negative page numbers and
ROTATE is one of >, V, or < indicating a clockwise rotation of
90, 180, 270 degrees, respectively.


Command-line Example
$ pdfmerge -o out.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf[3,3] file2.pdf[1V,2..-1] "other*.pdf[<]" "/path/pdf[1..4>,5]"

This example illustrates several features:

specifying an output file (must not be any of the input files)
merging multiple files, some more than once
splicing parts of file using indices (1-based; negatives allowed)
including the same page multiple times
rotating a page or page range
merging all the PDFs in a directory

pdfmerge(["pdf-1.pdf", "pdf-2.pdf[2>]"], "output.pdf")
