If it’s of any use to you, here’s my Autohotkey script:Ĭode: Gui, Add, Text, x25 y10 w170 h20, Select INPUT folder Using Autohotkey, I even put a little GUI front-end on it and compiled it to an executable to make it easier to deploy to other staff. I’ve used it at work to automate converting nearly 1200 PDFs into one mega-PDF on a daily basis. By issuing the command pdftk D:pdf_input*.pdf cat output D:pdf_outputcombined.pdf all the PDFs in the source folder are combined into a single PDF in the target folder. This lets me use something like D:pdf_input as the source folder and D:pdf_output for the target folder.

I don’t understand the bit about creating PDFs from other PDFs but for merging PDFs I use a free PDF toolkit. For doc and docx, use either Word 2010 onwards (which allows creation of PDF’s using File > SaveAs…) or Writer from the (free) LibreOffice suite which, by default, has a handy ‘ Create PDF‘ button in the standard toolbar.Īlternatively, for doc and docx plus JPGs, use a ‘PDF pseudo-printer’ like Foxit Reader to ‘ Print to PDF‘ from within other apps.
