Re: concatenating pdf files
I have scanned related pages of a document as jpeg (limitation of software), converted to pdf using imagemagick::convert. Now is there a way to concatenate the pdf files (or jpeg files and then conver to pdf) to collect the complete document. -ishwar Go to kde-apps.org, get pdfedit. It is a very useful tool and your concatenation can be done there. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To combine pdf files use pdftk. pdftk in1.pdf in2.pdf cat output out1.pdf To combine eps files use psmerge. psmerge -ocombined.eps file1.eps file2.eps file3.eps file4.eps More info can be found in their man pages. Depending on the sizes of these pdf/eps/ps files, you can also open up a word processor (oowriter or texmacs), insert these files and then export the resultant file into a .pdf file. This works well if the files are small or if multiple images can be fit into a single page etc., hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Now is there a way to concatenate the pdf files (or jpeg files and then conver to pdf) to collect the complete document. It all depends on scale. How many pages? If its a short document, I would use LaTex and include one image on each page, then process the whole LaTex file to produce a final pdf. If its a long document, I would write a python script to create the LaTex file from the files, then process the LaTex to produce the final pdf. Either way, I'd use LaTex to turn multiple images into one document. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: concatenating pdf files
Hi! I have scanned related pages of a document as jpeg (limitation of software), converted to pdf using imagemagick::convert. Now is there a way to concatenate the pdf files (or jpeg files and then conver to pdf) to collect the complete document. i use GhostScript in a similar case in this way: gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=firstANDsecond.pdf -dBATCH first.pdf second.pdf that for me works perfectly. Of course you can join more than 2 files. 'man gs' (and google :-D) surely help you for parameters. Hope that helps you!

It depends on a Latex Environment, though, so it is a quite heahy solution for a one-time job. J. -- When I get home from the supermarket I don't know what to do with all the plastic.

Just yesterday evening I wrote a simple utility that allow this wrapping cups-pdf functions. It's write in ruby and dependes from cups-pdf, ruby and lpr. I published a few minutes before you read your mail! You can find this on http://www.openclose.it/wiki/?qq=joinpdf It works with PS, JPEG, ASCII too. You can choose which pages to be printed as document and print them in what order. Please, report bugs and wish list.
