Recently I needed to merge several PDF files into a single file and also encrypt it. So after some googling, here my recipe: gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOwnerPassword=password1 -sUserPassword=password2 -dKeyLength=128 -dEncryptionR=3 -sOutputFile=output.pdf input1.pdf input2.pdf input3.pdf

I have made several utility mill scripts in the past and since I am reminded of it again, I might as well post links to my other utilities. Hopefully, someone will find it useful: Transmission Return Loss calculator - http://utilitymill.com/utility/ReturnLossCalculator Number to words converter to convert, eg. '123' to 'one hundred and twenty three' - http://utilitymill.com/utility/NumToEnglishWords

I suppose SRT file timing offset is a common problem, however I can't seems to find any simple good tool that works on both Linux and Windows. While most media player on PC should be able to adjust the delays, my TV set-top box could open SRT files but could not adjust timing delays in the subtitle which could be annoying. So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and wrote the little utility python script in a few minutes. Besides, how difficult could a simple format like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubRip ? You can download the script from pastie.org: http://pastie.org/1339071 I've released it as free and public domain . Anyone can use it to do anything you like. Anyway, for Windows folks, I have also made and online version by porting it to excellent python script hosting called Utility Mill . Just go to http://utilitymill.com/utility/srt_delay and follow the instructions.
