Another way to do this:

Acrobat Distiller includes documentation for concatenating ps files with
a driver file:

%!
/prun { /mysave save def       % Performs a save before running the PS file
        dup = flush            % Shows name of PS file being run
        RunFile                % Calls built in Distiller procedure
        clear cleardictstack   % Cleans up after PS file
        mysave restore         % Restores save level
} def

(filename1.ps) prun
(filename2.ps) prun

This also applies to Ghostscript, With `Runfile' replaced with `run'.

You can either first convert pdf to ps before applying this or try
whether you can use the pdfs directly.
