Append PDF files is a hard job in Linux  
Written by vcordeiro the 26 Feb 12 at 12:36. New
The current pdf merge tools available are applications that take two pdf files already created and merge them. To use it, we need to create each pdf in separate, start the application, find each pdf and merge them. All this work makes sense when you want to merge more then two files, analize each one, select what pages to merge, split...
However, in the most of times, you just want to append the pdf file being created to an existent one.

Solution #1: Add append option when printing over an existent file
Written by vcordeiro the 26 Feb 12 at 12:36.
When the user trys to print over an existent pdf file, it is shown a pop-up box saying: "A file named "xxxx.pdf" already exists. Do you want to replace it?". There are currently two options: "Replace" and "Cancel". The idea is just to add the third option "Append". If the user clicks the button "Append", the current file is entirely appended to the existent one.
The pdf printer "PrimoPDF"(for windows only) has this feature and can be used as reference.
