Preparing Your system
Now we will see one example how to combine pdf files let us assume we have 1.pdf,2.pdf,3.pdf files and now we need to cobmine this files using the following command:
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=finished.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf
In the above command after “-sOUTPUTFILE=” type whatever name you want for the merged file (don’t forget to append .pdf to the end of the file name). Rename “1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf” to whatever your file names are (separate your file names with a space).
After you run the above command, a new PDF file called combinedpdf.pdf will be created with your individual files merged according to the order you list.
The same can be done with PS files:
If you want to know more options available for gs command check man page

Merge PDF files with pdftk
Having some of my manuals/documentations downloaded in several separated pdf files, I wanted to merge them into a single file.
First, I installed pdftk
# apt-get install pdftk
In Ubuntu 18.04 the previous command won't work. Instead:
sudo snap install pdftk
Then, I merged the files into a single file
$ pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf cat output file123.pdf
When the files to be merged is a lot, I edited the file list in a text editor (or, when I am in a good mood, using ls & awk & sed) then combine it with the script found here
$ cat stdin_pdf.sh
#!/bin/sh
# combine PDFs; pass filenames in on stdin;
# pass output to stdout
read input_filenames
pdftk $input_filenames cat output -
$ cat filelist|./stdin_pdf.sh>mergedfile.pdf
So far, I am satisfied with the result. (link)
