Firstly I tried using my old favourite `pandoc` which will apparently only output PDF files, not input them. 8 9 Some quick searching around lead me to `pdfunite` which did the job perfectly. 10 11 Simple issue the following command to merge 3 files into one final output file: 12 ``` 13 pdfunite page-1.pdf page-2.pdf page-3.pdf pages-out.pdf 14 ``` 15 Be careful when specifying your files here as the last file will be overwritten if it already exists. 16 17 If you don't have `pdfunite` installed, it's available via: 18 ``` 19 sudo apt-get install poppler-utils 20 ```
