Trying to merge all pdfs in a directory using GhostScript 9.06 64bit in a .bat file
The following, makes merged.pdf, but it is 1 page and blank
call gswin64c -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=merged.pdf *.pdf
If I actually specify which PDFs to merge it works fine. What gives?
call gswin64c -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=merged.pdf 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf
You can’t specify wildcards on the Ghostscript command line, simple as that.
Since GS didn’t find a file called ‘*.pdf’ it didn’t execute any marking operations, in this case you get a blank file.
