combining two (or more) PDFs in paperless?

[hummuscience]

I am trying out paperless and like the simple way it works, thank you :)

I was wondering if there is a way to combine two scans into one in paperless and then rename/file it.

I was looking for the option in PDF-Tools but couldn't find anything. Any idea?

Thanks!

I like your idea. On my Fedora box, poppler-utils provides the pdfunite command for merging PDF documents. Do you have any opinion on the workflow?

I just saw that poppler can also be installed on mac vie Homebrew so that should also work.

Worflow wise I think something like this would be nice:

1. Inspect PDFs with [SPC] first
2. Use the numbers to mark first [1], second[2], third, 4th page (etc) in the paperless buffer
3. Have a command to merge the ones marked

Then you would have to do that for every combination of PDFs you want to merge and repeat it for the next one etc. A more complex workflow is not needed for now, I guess

What do you think?
