Background

I wanted to combine my lecture slides (several PDF files every week) into one PDF file, so that I can read, search, go back and forth while opening just one PDF file. 🤓

I used "https://combinepdf.com" at first, but it took me so long. 😴
Most of that time was spent on uploading and downloading the PDF files, not the actual process of combining the PDF files. 😞

What if I can combine PDF files locally? That means no more time wasted on uploading and downloading the PDF files! 😎 ...

Getting Started

Install the '1pdf' package globally using npm

npm i -g 1pdf

✅

OR
when you do not have write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules, run

sudo npm i -g 1pdf

enter password when prompted and hit enter/return

✅

Usage

Step 1. cd into a directory containing PDF files to be combined

Step 2. (Optional) Rename the PDF files in your desired order

Step 3. Run

1pdf

to combine the PDF files into one PDF file

OR

Run

1pdf myFileName.pdf

to name the output PDF file at the same time
