The output pdf of the gs command cannot be searched. there might be a switch that can be included in the gs command to allow this (who knows?). The pdftk command is simpler, too pdftk *.pdf cat output MyOutput.pdf Just make sure that the input pdf files are named in sequence (alphabetically or numerically) so they show up in the output file in order. One good thing about Linux is that you have a lot of choices to accomplish this particular task -- and they're all free. pdftk does a better job in my opinion.
