[pdftex] Merging PDFs

Hi,
I'm new to PDFTeX (and LaTeX). I'm trying to merge two PDF-Files using
PDFTeX. There are two problems I haven't been able to solve yet.
First, I can't seem to figure out how to import PDF files that are
several pages long. They always get cropped after the first page.
Second, if I try to merge a file I got as an output from a previous
merging, it seems to move about an inch downwards and a bit to the left
(I think). Is it possible to use an output PDF as an input in PDFTeX,
and if so, what am I doing wrong?
The .tex-file (merge.tex) looks like that:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\headheight}{0pt}
\setlength{\headsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\marginparsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\marginparwidth}{0pt}
\setlength{\footskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\marginparpush}{0pt}
\setlength{\hoffset}{-72pt}
\setlength{\voffset}{-72pt}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\paperwidth}{210mm}
\setlength{\textwidth}{210mm}
\setlength{\paperheight}{297mm}
\setlength{\textheight}{297mm}
\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf}
\begin{picture}(210,297)
\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{form_001.pdf}}
\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{content_001.pdf}}
\end{picture}
\end{document}
For the second merge, I change the \put lines to this:
\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{form_001.pdf}}
\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{merge.pdf}}
I would greatly appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Lucas
