I’ve used it at work to automate converting nearly 1200 PDFs into one mega-PDF on a daily basis. By issuing the command pdftk D:pdf_input*.pdf cat output D:pdf_outputcombined.pdf all the PDFs in the source folder are combined into a single PDF in the target folder. This lets me use something like D:pdf_input as the source folder and D:pdf_output for the target folder. I don’t understand the bit about creating PDFs from other PDFs but for merging PDFs I use a free PDF toolkit.


For doc and docx, use either Word 2010 onwards (which allows creation of PDF’s using File > SaveAs…) or Writer from the (free) LibreOffice suite which, by default, has a handy ‘ Create PDF‘ button in the standard toolbar.Īlternatively, for doc and docx plus JPGs, use a ‘PDF pseudo-printer’ like Foxit Reader to ‘ Print to PDF‘ from within other apps.
