I have to print multiple documents from different applications (browsers, pdf readers etc) and print to a pdf file. What I want to do is collect the documents when i 'print' from these applications and be able to print those collected documents into a single PDF file. It would be even better if it allows some sort of editing or sorting of pages before i print to the PDF. Currently, I can print single files to pdfs using cups-pdf which shows up as a virtual pdf printer and then combine into one pdf file manually. It gets the job done but was wondering if there is an easy single step way.

@Nasha actually that is what I am doing currently. What I am looking for is easier solution which could act like a virtual printer which will just collect all the files i print from different applications into it and then i can print 1 pdf rght from the virtual printer. Or at least lets me append pages to the same pdf file every time i print to the same file.wildnux– wildnux2016-05-02 02:12:32 +00:00Commented May 2, 2016 at 2:12

I'm not sure it can be automated out-of-the-box. I'd say you need at least some scripting.user86969– user869692016-05-02 15:37:28 +00:00Commented May 2, 2016 at 15:37

You can use iText library itextpdf.commario ruiz– mario ruiz2017-06-01 19:56:47 +00:00Commented Jun 1, 2017 at 19:56

Boomaga could meet your requirement, simply install it via apt-get install -y boomaga.
The program can also help you get your documents prepared a bit before printing. At this stage Boomaga makes it possible to:
- Paste several documents together.
- Print several pages on one sheet.
- 1, 2, 4, 8 pages per sheet
- Booklet. Folding the sheets in two, you’ll get a book.

1This looks like a great solution. I needed to print 20 something pages, crashed on the first attempt but worked beautifully on the second :Pmkey– mkey2021-01-07 18:33:44 +00:00Commented Jan 7, 2021 at 18:33
Shotwell is able to print multiple images on single page, combined with "print to file" does the trick.
