[SOLVED] Looking for an easy way to combine PDF Files
Looking to use a GUI Package to combine PDF files together into one PDF file.
PDF Shuffler looks good but it is not in the repositories.

Re: Looking for an easy way to combine PDF Files
If it is just for combining whole files, I'd just use pdftk? Yes, it is a command line tool but it couldn't be much easier to use. See some examples here: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2010/06/18/th ... in-ubuntu/

Re: Looking for an easy way to combine PDF Files
Ah, sorry... You are on LMDE, so it might not be available there depending whether it was in the Debian testing repository when the Update Pack you are on was snapshotted. You could download the package from Debian and install it from there: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/pdftk. But perhaps there is a better alternative
Re: Looking for an easy way to combine PDF Files
When I try to install that I get a dependency error:
libc6 (>=2.14)

Re: Looking for an easy way to combine PDF Files
Looks like I have to satisfy a lot of dependency issues with install PDFEdit.
Any easy way to do this?

Re: Looking for an easy way to combine PDF Files
I am using pdfchain from the repos in mint 13 - by trial and error found this was the best for me.
Re: Looking for an easy way to combine PDF Files
That is what I was looking for. Thanks
Also I had a mirror problem that was preventing me from getting some of the files.
That is now fixed.
