To concatenate file1.pdf, file2.pdf, file3.pdf etc into a single file
all.pdf you can use the command

texexec --result all.pdf  file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf

To concatenate all pdf files in a directory pdfdir into a single file
all.pdf (in alphabetic order) you can use

texexec --result all.pdf  `ls *.pdf`

For further details try

texexec --help
