wkhtmltopdf: Is it possible to merge PDF files?


Using this library wkhtmltopdf, is it possible to merge 2 pdf files. I need to generate a report and merge the report with some attached documents.

Generation of report is done, converting from HTML to PDF. But I need to merge the resulting PDF with some other PDFs


Solution

  • wkhtmltopdf doesn't provide support for merging PDF's. You can accomplish this using GhostScript. It's a pretty powerful tool and frequently used by Linux users.

    You can use the following command:

    gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf in1.pdf in2.pdf

    In case you want it for Linux refer

    EDIT: As stated by @nenotelp there are other tools available as well. The part that @nentelp mentioned is regarding the handling of bookmarks which is better with iText or iTextSharp. If this is your requirement you can certainly opt for other tools.

    P.S. - Google Ghostscript. You will find tons of references.
