## Background

I wanted to combine my lecture slides (several PDF files every week) into one PDF file, so that I can read, search, go back and forth while opening just one PDF file. 🤓

I used "https://combinepdf.com" at first, but it took me so long. 😴 \

Most of that time was spent on uploading and downloading the PDF files, not the actual process of combining the PDF files. 😞

What if I can combine PDF files locally? That means no more time wasted on uploading and downloading the PDF files! 😎 ...

## Getting Started

Install the '1pdf' package globally using npm

```

npm i -g 1pdf

```

✅

OR \

when you do not have write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules, run

```

sudo npm i -g 1pdf

```

enter password when prompted and hit enter/return

✅

## Usage

Step 1. ```cd``` into a directory containing PDF files to be combined

Step 2. (Optional) Rename the PDF files in your desired order

Step 3. Run

```

1pdf

```

to combine the PDF files into one PDF file

OR

Run

```

1pdf myFileName.pdf

```

to name the output PDF file at the same time

✅
