files To merge files, do the following: import fitz doc_a = fitz.open("a.pdf") # open the 1st document doc_b = fitz.open("b.pdf") # open the 2nd document doc_a.insert_pdf(doc_b) # merge the docs doc_a method to merge supported files with . For example: import fitz doc_a = fitz.open("a.pdf") # open the 1st document doc_b = fitz.open("b.svg") # open the 2nd document doc_a.insert_file(doc_b) # merge the docs save("a+b.pdf") # save the merged document with a new filename Note: Taking it further It is easy to join PDFs with Document.insert_pdf() & Document.insert_file(). Given open documents, you can copy page
