crossmerge

Bash scripts to corss-merge or cross-reverse-merge PDF-Files. e.g. Dok1 hast Pages A1, A2, A3 and Dok2 has Pages B1, B2, B3. The result will be

cross-merged: A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3

cross-reverse-merged: A1, B3, A2, B2, A3, B1

prerequisites

The script uses pdftk for merging the files. One must install pdftk before one can use the script

e.G. install via

#Fedora:
sudo dnf install pdftk

#Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install pdftk

usage

cross merge

sh crossmerge.sh document1.pdf document2.pdf output.pdf

cross reverse merge

sh crossreversemerge.sh document1.pdf document2.pdf output.pdf
