[jira] [Closed] (PDFBOX-5445) Add command line options to accept file containing list of files to merge
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5445?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andreas Lehmkühler closed PDFBOX-5445.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
I guess [~lmodesto.work] proposal to use the picocli feature for a huge number of command line arguments satisfies the main requirement to support a list files to be merged.
PDFBOX-5670 adds repeatable subcommands which might be handy as well.
I can't see an easy solution for the second requirement to suppress page breaks. It would require to re-render the whole pdf including the effort to find a new position for the page break.

> Users of free MBox Mail Viewer require to export hundreds of emails into PDF and merge them into a single PDF document. Due to command line length limitations, smaller subsets of PDF mails have to be merged first and merge again multiple times. Merging must preserve order of emails. Option to accept a file containing a list of PDF files to merge would be very helpful.
> Another very useful option would be suppress "Page Break" at the end of PDF document to allow multiple small emails to fit on a page. Frequently, emails within the same thread are small.
