\setlength\PreviewBorder{5pt}%


\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1.6]
    \draw[->] (0,0) -- (4,0) coordinate (x axis);
    \draw[->] (0,0) -- (0,3.5) coordinate (y axis);

Merge several EPS files to one file

gs -sDEVICE=epswrite     -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER     -sOutputFile=merged.eps   *eps

Merge EPS and convert EPS to PDF

gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite     -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER     -sOutputFile=merged.pdf  *eps

The best way to concert a bunch of eps file to a combined pdf file is,

1. 
   

   
   for i in `ls *eps`
   do
       ps2pdf -dEPSCrop ${i}
   done
   

   
   


2. 
   

   
   gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite     -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER     -sOutputFile=merged.pdf  *pdf
