A quick Google search turns up lots of program which claim to merge PDFs files. e.g. http://www.verypdf.com/pdfpg/index.html (for a mere $29.90, except it is GPL'd so I'm not sure what the money is for). Or perhaps PDCAT, http://www.pdf-tools.com/asp/products.asp?name=CLE for $150, or $250 if you want to be able to encrypt the output and ship it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
