joining multiple PDFs into one

[Bill Heagy]

I just did a quick experiment.  With cat f1.pdf f2.pdf > f3.pdf,
acroread f3.pdf showed the first file, xpdf f3.pdf showed the second 
file.  Anyone who lived with DOS and eof markers on text files shouldn't 
be surprised that more structured files do not always concatenate.
