I hated using online tools for merging my PDF files so I wrote a Python 3.6 script to merge all PDF files in a folder to a new PDF file.

pdf_merge's Issues

PyPDF2.utils.PdfReadError: Could not find object.

On some PDF files the program gives the following error:

PdfReadWarning: Object 225 0 not defined. [pdf.py:1629]
