Yes, you need an external tool to combine them.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
In case you use linux that is easy: `pdfjam file1.pdf file2.pdf -o out.pdf"
Since this is intended to be open source, I was really hoping not to rely on an external tool. Code branching is the opposite of fun for; if windows and the user has installed PDFtk, use this external executable path, else if linux and pdfjam, use this command else if mac, use this command else go into meltdown I already have to do that for wkhtmltopdf to tidy up a bunch of the HTML outputs and incorporate them, and it is a maintenance nightmare when sharing the codebase. Hence my wish for something internal. Much sadness. But thanks for the answer anyway. Tarquin
