Merging or Concatenating Pdf documents

I was looking for merging couple of PDF documents and I found a very useful Command Line tool with which you can easily merge two or more PDF files.

Steps to do that
1. I downloaded a tool called "Pdftk - the PDF Toolkit" in my root C:\pdftk-1.12 from here
2. Copied the PDF's to merge in my example oct08_1.pdf and oct08_2.pdf
3. Opened the Command Prompt by typing "CMD" in Start > Run window.
4. After going to root directory which is C:\ in my case. Type "cd pdftk-1.12" and hit enter to get to the folder where tool is downloaded
5. Type "pdftk oct08_1.pdf oct08_2.pdf output oct08.pdf" and hit enter, which will merge the two documents in to Oct08.pdf.





Apart from Merging PDF documents this tool can
# split PDF Pages into a New Document
# Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required)
# Encrypt Output as Desired
# Fill PDF Forms with FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms
# Apply a Background Watermark
# Report on PDF Metrics such as Metadata, Bookmarks, and Page Labels
# Update PDF Metadata
# Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document
# Unpack PDF Attachments
# Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages
# Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams
# Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)
