A faster way through PDF Compilation?

[Fayd]

I have a job, that requires i compile approximately 1500 PDF's down to 200.

they're named in the order they get compiled, as in:

XXX-Y.pdf, where XXX refers to the site number, and Y refers to the order in which it needs to be added into the document (1 through 6).

I'm wondering if there's any way to automate this task?

Apparently I wasn't using the right verb when i was google searching for this.

i found this script...

https://www.cs.tcd.ie/Shane.OC.../Misc/MergingPDFs.html

it claims to be able to do what i want to do using a free utility called ghostscript.

i'm gonna have to play with that batch file some to see if i can coerce it into doing what i want. unfortunately the site numbers are not synchronous... so i have to implement some sort of incrementing on completion, and error handling. (found no site number.pdf, move on to the next one... found no accompanying data, print an error and move onto the next one...) anyone know how to do this? I have some experience in C++ programming, but somehow i think batch files are beyond me.
