 I just found PDFLab for MacOS X, see

I can't recommend Multivalent (http://multivalent.sf.net)
enough. OK, it needs Java 1.4, but except for that it is quite
nice. It can do concatenation, compression, encryption, ...

unfortunately mv does not handle colors well (apart from being rather slow) but it certainly looks promissing.

Perhaps it fits your needs; I didn't try it.

--pdfcombine, --pdfcopy and --pdfselect switches are also available,
but my guess is that what you want is (currently) not possible. 

What texexec actually does is: it creates a temporary TeX input file
that starts with the \setuppaper, \setuplayout etc. implementing the
options you have given on texexec's commandline. In the document body 
it then includes (every) page(s) of the pdf file(s) as an external 
image. This image is scaled and rotated etc. as needed. 

This process probably trashes the internal structure of the document.

[NTG-context] concatenate PDF files.

2004-09-02 Thread Paulo Ney de Souza
I am looking for a way to concatenate several PDF files, and found this 
e-mail from Hans:

http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-January/000240.html

saying that texexec can do it in several ways! and to look on the web-site,
texexec manual and the mailing list for directions.

I went to the manual first and found only ONE:

texexec --pdfarrange --noduplex --paper=S6 file-a file-b

but that nullified all links I had in my files, and changed the opening 
from from FitVisible to something else (all files were FitVisible). Next
I went to two other sources he mentioned and Googled for: -ntg-context 
concatenate pdf did not yield much beyond that, and neither did Googling
http://www.pragma-ade.com/ for the words concatenate or combine.

So does anyne know how to use texexec to concatenate two PDF files and
preseve as much of the file as possible (links, opening format, ...) ?
