- Merge two (or more) PDFs:
`pdfjam {{path/to/file1.pdf}} {{path/to/file2.pdf}} --outfile {{path/to/output_file.pdf}}`
- Merge the first page of each file together:
`pdfjam {{files...}} 1 --outfile {{path/to/output_file.pdf}}`
- Merge subranges from two PDFs:
`pdfjam {{path/to/file1.pdf 3-5,1}} {{path/to/file2.pdf 4-6}} --outfile {{path/to/output_file.pdf}}`
- Sign an A4 page (adjust delta to height for other formats) with a scanned signature by overlaying them:
`pdfjam {{path/to/file.pdf}} {{path/to/signature}} --fitpaper true --outfile {{path/to/signed.pdf}} --nup "{{1x2}}" --delta "{{0 -842pt}}"`
- Arrange the pages from the input file into a fancy 2x2 grid:
`pdfjam {{path/to/file.pdf}} --nup {{2x2}} --suffix {{4up}} --preamble '{{\usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy}}}'`
- Reverse the order of pages within each given file and concatenate them:
`pdfjam {{files...}} {{last-1}} --suffix {{reversed}}`
