Ubuntu: Merge PDFs - how it works

On Ubuntu, you can combine PDFs in several ways. In this practical tip, we will show you which options you have.

Ubuntu: Merge PDFs with GUI

There are various programs with a graphical user interface (GUI) to combine PDFs.

You can find a clear list of various programs at Ubuntuusers. The handling of the PDF Mod program will now be described in more detail here.
To install, go to the Ubuntu Software Store and search for "PDF Mod". Alternatively, open the terminal and enter sudo apt-get install pdfmod .
Start the freshly installed program and click in the program on the folder on the far left in the toolbar: "Open a document" and select the first PDF document.
Then click the plus in the toolbar and select the second document.
Add any number of additional documents using the plus button.
Then save the new document using the second button from the left.

Another approach to merging PDFs on Ubuntu is from the command line.

To do this, install the program pdfunite with the command sudo apt-get install pdfunite
Then switch to the directory with your PDFs. To do this, enter the following command into the terminal: cd / path / to / your / directory
Assuming you want to merge the two PDFs "A.pdf" and "B.pdf" into the file "AB.pdf", you can do this as follows: pdfunite A.pdf B.pdf AB.pdf
The newly created file "AB.pdf" can be found in the same directory as the other two files.
