Merging PDF pages

Hmmm.

Rereading, did you want to be able to collect existing pdf documents, read them, and then output a single new PDF?   If so, I guess you can import those documents as images on successive cards, and do what I posted earlier.

Seems clunky, but then you are asking LC to do something clunky.
