pdf_merge.go

/*
 * Basic merging of PDF files.
 * Simply loads all pages for each file and writes to the output file.
 * See pdf_merge_advanced.go for a more advanced version which handles merging document forms (acro forms) also.
 *
 * Run as: go run pdf_merge.go output.pdf input1.pdf input2.pdf input3.pdf ...
