PSMERGE(1)PSMERGE(1)NAMEpsmerge - filter to merge several PostScript files into one
SYNOPSISpsmerge [ -oout.ps ] [ file.ps ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Psmerge merges PostScript documents into a single document. It only
works in the specific case the the files were created using the same
application, with the same device setup and resources (fonts, procsets,
patterns, files, etc) loaded.
If the -o option is used, output will be sent to the file named, other‐
wise it will go to standard output.
Psmerge will merge multiple files concatenated into a single file as if
they were in separate files.
BUGSpsmerge is for a very specific case; it does not merge files in the
general case.
For all those cases which can not be handled by psmerge the program gs
(known as ghostscript) may help:
gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=out.ps \
file1.ps file2.ps ... -c quit
This is rather slow and generates bigger output files.
