Partially correct: a class called FPDI
(http://www.setasign.de/products/pdf-php-solutions/fpdi/) is used to
read the separate pdf files into a PHP variable. FPDF is used to join
the pdfs together to create the combined pdf file.
hope this useful

Hi List
According to the PDF properties, it suggests that FPDF might have been
used. There is a website by this name:
http://www.fpdf.org
and these PHP libraries may have been ported to other platforms.
Apart from this kind of approach, in theory you could use something like
XSL-FO.

with a processor like Apache FOP:
