The "gs" method worked for me in cygwin. In other words:
gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf in1.pdf in2.pdf in3.pdf
Windows explorer sort order
Did you notice that Vista (and XP) messed up the alphabetic sort order? For example, if I have some files like this:
01.flac
02.flac
0304.flac
05.flac
Vista won't sort them correctly (alphabetically). Instead it does this:
01.flac
02.flac
05.flac
0304.flac
You have to tell Vista to sort alphabetically by changing a registry entry. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.
