A combination of ODS DOCUMENT and the DOCUMENT procedure may do what you require. Check out the examples in this link:
Install Adobe Professional and then use SAS to generate the commands needed.
You may be able to use scripting commands as well, depending on which OS and what applications you have.
It also depends on where the PDF files originate from. For example, if it's from SAS processes, you could find a way to restructure those so that the files are created consistently.
I did this for some very complicated reporting that required inserting maps, table of contents pages, glossaries etc into automated reports.
Reports are here, for example.
Here are the instructions on how to handle the PDF combinations.

That's one impressive report! Very impressive!
I don't doubt that once this documentation-writing logic was finally in place, the efficiency gains were huge.
Documentation writing is very time-consuming and very error-prone.
Kudos on you for doing this, and on your employer for giving you the time to do something better than the usual urgent, cheap, quick-and-dirty, good-enough-and-let's-move-on job that most employers seem to favour these days.
