I already read the thread how to merge epub files but Is there any way by which I can merge different pdf files into one. Earlier I have tried an app for this purpose but I lost all my pdf files after merging.
For serious work with PDF, you can't stay away from Adobe Acrobat… still…
You might also look at Nitro.

If Acrobat's price is a bit steep, Foxit's PhantomPDF offers similar functionality for a more reasonable price. I used it extensively at a previous job and highly recommend it. – Nathan Osman Mar 26 '15 at 21:59
After a long search, I have downloaded PDFmate to merge pdf files. It works nice. It is free as well as from a verified publisher.
Use pdftk:
pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf cat output combined.pdf

1I downloaded pdftk but it shows that its source is unknown and it is no safe to run programs from unknown sources as it can harm your computer. – Vibhu Mar 14 '15 at 14:56

@Vibhu I just installed it with
apt-get install pdftkon my Linux machine. You should install a VM if you are running Windows (or abandon Windows completely if your security concerns are serious). – Anthon Mar 14 '15 at 15:09
You can use
Sejda also offers a command line version, free and open source.

After downloading PDFsam, when I run it, will the computer show that its source is unknown and it is not safe to run programs from unknown source? Or will it have any verified digital signature? – Vibhu Mar 16 '15 at 19:58

If you use OS X then the included Preview.app allows merging.
Open up one pdf file and then choose via the menus Edit->Insert->Page From File...
This prompts for a file - choose the second pdf and it adds all the pages from it to the original.
Kvisoft PDF Merger , available only for 30 day trial. Pdf combine also works.
I highly recommend you to use PDFsam, which also happens to be OpenSource (in its Basic installment). Here's a guide explaining what it can do, with a strong focus on the Alternate Mix feature which is one of its major strenghts.
