pdfmerge: CLI for merging, splicing, and rotating PDFs

pdfmerge
Staple the Squirrel

Build PyPI Supported Python Versions

Why?

I find myself merging bits of different PDFs fairly regularly and really wanted a simple CLI way to do it.

Install

bash python -m pip install pdfmerge

Usage

$ pdfmerge [-h] [--version]
  [-o FILE|--output FILE]
  [-p PASSWORD|--password PASSWORD]
  PATH[RULE[, RULE ...]] [[PATH[RULE, ...]] ...]
  • -o, --output output file (default: output.pdf).
  • -p, '--password` password for encrypted files (default: empty string).
  • PATH a file, directory, or wildcard string (e.g., file*.pdf) of files to merge.

  • RULE an optional string indicating which pages to extract and rotate. The syntax for each rule is:

    [START][..][END][ROTATE]

Where START and END are positive (1-based) or negative page numbers and ROTATE is one of >, V, or < indicating a clockwise rotation of 90, 180, 270 degrees, respectively.

Command-line Example

$ pdfmerge -o out.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf[3,3] file2.pdf[1V,2..-1] "other*.pdf[<]" "/path/pdf[1..4>,5]"

This example illustrates several features:

  • specifying an output file
  • merging multiple files, some more than once
  • splicing parts of file using indices (1-based; negatives allowed)
  • including the same page multiple times
  • rotating a page or page range
  • merging all the PDFs in a directory

Python Module Usage

pdfmerge can also be imported into python scripts.

python from pdfmerge import pdfmerge pdfmerge(["pdf-1.pdf", "pdf-2.pdf[2>]"], "output.pdf")
