Merge pdf files into one pdf file using GhostScript on Linux

Command:

gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=finished.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf

Explanation:

• gs starts the Ghostscript program. 
• -dBATCH once Ghostscript processes the PDF files, it should exit. If you don't include this option, Ghostscript will just keep running. 
• -dNOPAUSE forces Ghostscript to process each page without pausing for user interaction. 
• -q stops Ghostscript from displaying messages while it works 
• -sDEVICE=pdfwrite tells Ghostscript to use its built-in PDF writer to process the files. 
• -sOutputFile=finished.pdf tells Ghostscript to save the combined PDF file with the specified name.
