cat les_csharp_12_p1.pdf les_csharp_12_p2.pdf les_csharp_12_p3.pdf les_csharp_12_p4.pdf les_csharp_12_p5.pdf les_csharp_12_p6.pdf les_csharp_12_p7.pdf >> les_csharp_all.pdf This should all be one line, of course. It's wrapped by the mailer. However, if your intent is to end up with one large pdf, I strongly doubt that simply appending multiple pdf files will give you a usable pdf file. This works fine with text files but pdf is a binary format.
