Honestly, i don't think it makes sense, i'll let others comment. I don't think it amkes sense, too. But if it would make anybody happy to change if (!ok || argc <= 3 || printVersion || printHelp) to if (!ok || argc < 3 || printVersion || printHelp) why not? Then You can use pdfunite also to try to repair defect single page PDF files :-) Is that the only change needed for it to work? (In reply to comment #3) > Is that the only change needed for it to work? Sure, that's it (Just checked to assure it :-) ) But be aware: If someone just forget to give the output filename, the last file will always be overwritten (but this happens also in the past if someone gives more than two filenames which should be merged and doesn't give the output file)! Ok, will be in 0.25.1 |

I have a large document (circa 1,000 pages) that I have used pdfseparate to break into individual pages and that I am then using pdfunite to combine into useful bundles of pages. Some of the bundles are comprised of a single page. I manage the bundle creation process using a set of data objects, so the basic inner loop goes something like this: pdfunite ${SOURCE_LIST} ${DESTINATION_FILE} If ${SOURCE_LIST} happens to contain a single PDF file, then pdfunite whines and refuses to work, so I've had to special case these items and make the command be cp instead of pdfunite. I argue that for clean closure pdfunite source.pdf dest.pdf should copy source.pdf to dest.pdf If the poppler community agrees that this is a valid proposal, I'd be happy to submit a change list to implement the fix.
