We don't have this right now. I would suggest two possible
solutions both of which involve FOP (Apache's implementation
of XSL).
1) You can build an XSL (Formatting Objects) Document that
embeds your SVG documents (either directly or through
image refs). Then if you run FOP on that document you
can get one PDF.
2) You can grab the source for the PDF transcoder from the
FOP project. With that you can modify it to be a bit
more like Batik's 'PrintTranscoder'. At this level adding
a new page is as simple as calling 'nextPage()' on the
PDFDocumentGraphics2D (which is what the PDFTranscoder
uses to render the document to PDF).
Number 1 involves essentially no coding but is a bit more
round about and you would have to learn a bunch about XSL to
get what you want (that said it might be useful for what you
are trying to do).
Number 2 involves coding but is probably the simpler of the
two. You will need to figure out how to build the jar files
that we need so it's a bit more cumbersome from that point of
view.
If you did #2 it would be a potentially nice thing to
consider contributing back (although that would require
an Apache CLA).
