Merge pdf files freely without installing another programme with pdfunite

To merge multiple pdf files into a single pdf file with the utility pdfunite, open your terminal and run:

$ pdfunite pdf_sourcefile1 pdf_sourcefile2 pdf_output

pdf_sourcefile1 et cetera are the pdf files you want to merge.

pdf_output is the name of a pdf file that will be created with all pdf files merged once you have run the command.

To learn more about pdftunite run:

$ man pdfunite

pdfunite is copyleft-licensed and was first released in 1995. It was written, and is still developed, by Derek Noonburg¹.

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.

> What's the book about?

About technologies and agency.

Can usage of technologies give us a sense of empowerment while in fact undermining our abilities?

I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
