You can also do some operations (select pages, reorder them, add stamps/watermarks etc.) with LaTeX to have a final unique and consistant s= ingle pdf. The package to use is includepdf and eso-pic for stamping/watermarking. You can write a piece of shell script to fully automate the process (i.e s= elect input files and pages) of editing the .tex file and so do a kind of batch processing. With LaTex you can furthermore edit keywords and metadatas. Hope it will help. Rand
