Have a look at Master PDF Editor here - https://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor/

There is a free version and pay version

@marbles - You wanted a GUI way of doing it, @Terminal Velocity mentioned googling merging 2 pdf files, because there are tons of free, online converters that will allow you to merge two files in your browser.

Maybe not an ideal solution, but it is a solution nonetheless. And as it’s in your browser, it technically counts as a GUI way of doing it.

Personally, I think pdftk is a great way of natively merging multiple pdf files. I use it a lot. Very quick and very simple. However, it is a terminal based solution, so I won’t say any more about that.

From a quick bit of DuckDuckGo-fu, There are several GUI programs for merging pdf files in Linux:
PDFArranger, PDFChain, PDF Mix Tool, PDFJumbler.

I know that PDF Arranger is available in the software repos of most distros. So check your package manager. That will probably be your best bet.

Some distros have slightly older versions of it, but the latest version is also available as a flatpak. So again, PDF Arranger might be a good bet.

As for the other three, (PDF Chain, PDF Mix Tool, PDF Jumbler) - I don’t know a lot about them. They may have pre-built packages available, or you may have to build and install them from source. IDK!

@marbles
Jas, here's most of the list that comes in Flatpak (as you said) on Linux Mint 21.1 Vera.
The ones you mentioned, as well as several others are there.
So here you go marbles; the rest is up to you.

I think there are several here that marbles can choose from.

Another one https://pdfsam.org/ You have two options:

I won't ask for your distro, cause you seem to be reluctant to make some effort of your own, but if you do happen to use some deb based one, then you can install. Note you need java installed.

I used to use Master PDF Editor that @Lord Boltar suggested, when it shipped with a Distro called UberStudent I used from 2017 to 2019. Its Dev was an educator named Stephen Ewen and it had all sorts of goodies but he had to put it on hold in 2019 when his son was battling with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.

It was very very good, and easy to work with, then.

Thanks, I missed that bit, or was psychologically in denial of such an approach being possible
