Package Exports

pdf-merge

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pdf-merge) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

PDFMerge

Merge multiple PDF Files into a single PDF document supporting three output formats: Buffer, Stream, New file on disk.

Requirements

PDFMerge uses PDFtk to merge the documents and as such it is a requirement in order for PDFMerge to work. It will work on any platform supported by PDFtk. Starting from v1.0.0 a requirement of Node >= 4.0.0 is required as well. If you are stuck in the dark ages then npm i pdf-merge@0.1.1 should still work.
