I have found that when we use combinePDF(),

1. Library copies every PDF file to /tmp directory in Linux.
2. After combining PDF, the resulting PDF is also stored in /tmp folder.

But, after that it is not cleared from /tmp folder and it stacks up in the Hard drive memory.

It took me a little investigating to figure out how to get this working. Here are some steps that you find useful to add to the readme or just leave this issue up in case it helps other people.

1. You need graphics magick installed. I did this with brew install graphicsmagick
2. Unfortunately, graphics magick exposes itself on the command line as gm. My basic macOS git install had alias gm to git merge so I had to add unalias gm in my path. You can also do that line in your terminal but it will likely only last for that session. Some forum posts say you can remove the alias line in your global git config but it wasn't in mine.
3. I then encountered a Postscript delegate failed error so I needed to install the ghostscript library with brew install gs.

That fixed it all.

Thanks for making this library! It's very useful.

Is there a way that when using combinePDF() to put the page numbers on the footer of the combined pdf??
