If you are using linux, you may have the "psmerge" command.  I found it in
the psutils-1.17-10 rpm on my RH 7.1 box.

Name        : psutils                      Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version     : 1.17                              Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release     : 10                            Build Date: Fri 08 Dec 2000 12:46:10 PM EST

The man page says this:

       Psmerge merges PostScript documents into  a  single  docu­
       ment.  It  only  works  in the specific case the the files
       were created using the same  application,  with  the  same
       device  setup  and  resources  (fonts, procsets, patterns,
       files, etc) loaded.

As far as PDF's go, I'd probably convert them to PS's and do the same.

Hope it helps,
ep
