Merge PDF

Use a simple python script to merge a large number of PDF files. I used this to put together like 300 images, in ten seconds

merge_pdf.py
content_copyfile_download
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileMerger
import glob
import os

#%% Do the merge, sorting by date of creation. 
pdfs = glob.glob("*.pdf")
pdfs.sort(key=os.path.getmtime)

merger = PdfFileMerger()

for pdf in pdfs:
    merger.append(open(pdf, 'rb'))

with open('MERGED_PYTHON_PDF.pdf', 'wb') as fout:
    merger.write(fout)
