 ** Directories
-
 *** [[File:DEL][~DEL~]] : Deliverables
 May include drawings exported into PDF format.
 *** [[File:DWG][~DWG~]] : Drawing source files
-May include Inkscape SVG files.
+May include [[https://inkscape.org/][Inkscape]] SVG files.
+*** [[File:EXEC][~EXEC~]]: Executable files
+May include scripts useful for manipulating files.
 *** [[File:IMG][~IMG~]] : Reference image files
 May include various image files used in creation of project source
 files.
 
+** Usage
+*** Generate a combined PDF
+[[https://inkscape.org/][Inkscape]] is used to convert SVGs to individual PDFs but a script is
+available at ~./EXEC/combine_pdfs.sh~ to merge multiple single-page
+PDFs into a single PDF file; the script uses the [[https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/][~pdftk~ utility]]
+available on typical [[https://www.debian.org/][Debian]]-based [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnu-Linux][GNU/Linux]] machines of 2023. On a
+typical Debian 12 system, the following command may be used to merge
+~input1.pdf~ and ~input2.pdf~ files into ~output.pdf~.
