Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a series of PDFs named sequentially like so: 01_foo.pdf 02_bar.pdf 03_baz.pdf etc. Using Ruby, is it possible to combine these into one big PDF while keeping them in sequence? I don't mind installing any necessary gems to do the job. If this isn't possible in Ruby, how about another language? No commercial components, if possible. Update: Jason Navarrete's suggestion lead to the perfect solution: Place the PDF files needing to be combined in a directory along with pdftk (or make sure pdftk is in your PATH), then run the following script: pdfs = Dir["[0-9][0-9]_*"].sort.join(" ") `pdftk #{pdfs} output combined.pdf` Or I could even do it as a one-liner from the command-line: ruby -e '`pdftk #{Dir["[0-9][0-9]_*"].sort.join(" ")} output combined.pdf`' Great suggestion Jason, perfect solution, thanks. Give him an up-vote people .
