How to concatenate (merge) PDF files

I wanted to share this very easy, quick and efficient way to concatenate several PDF files into a single file – this is a recapitulation of racin's post found at Matthew Skala's home page:

sudo apt-get install pdftk
cd <folder containing your pdf's>
pdftk *.pdf cat output all.pdf 

That's all folks!

The actual process took ca. 1 second. Make sure you have named your files so that they are merged in the right order, e.g. 01_file-for-page-1.pdf, 02_file-for-page-2.pdf, etc.
