Merge PDF

Hi
I am trying to find a software to merge several pdfs into one pdf on our solaris machine. After merging the document, I have to direct it to a printer. Does anyone have a recommendation? I try to contact a couple of vendor but no replies.

Thanks.

Plain text in the pdf with format borders. No images.

I posted some python code in this thread to split 1 PDF document into a number of others.

This could be a good start for you as merging and splitting are very similar exercises.
