Source available here:

Before packaging that, i would consider using pdftk, since it can do that and much more and it's already there: see AUR for results https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … _Search=Go

In addition to those mentioned, there's also, stapler, pdfjam, pdfsam, pdfshuffler, jpdftweak... etc., heck you can merge PDFs with bare ghostscript, which you probably already have installed.

Thanks for the suggestions.
What I'm after is something that can merge two single page pdfs onto a single page.
The source material is vector graphics& text based so the output page size doesn't matter.

pdfjam and jpdftweak do that with their nup features... maybe some of the others I mentioned too; I don't have them all installed right now. I think you can print multiple page PDFs to multiple pages per sheet with cupspdf too, but I don't have that installed right now either.

Whatever the source, you can try 'pdftk input1.pdf input2.pdf cat output output.pdf'. More information on 'man pdftk' if you install that, else the interweb are full of those instructions, just search for 'collate pdf linux' or 'merge pdf linux'...
