This description is kindof unclear, so I'm making a few wild
assumptions.
Assuming that you don't have to work with the PDF format directly, you
could use some sort of DVI->PDF converter for this task. For example,
look here:
http://gaspra.kettering.edu/dvipdfm/
My bias would be to use TeX/LaTeX to generate the DVI files. Some
people might chime in here and say "try Lyx". You might want to check
this out as well.
Or, if you have some way to get postscript files, you might be able to
use a Postscript->PDF distiller (try ghostscript).
