I suggest looking into Ghostscript. Search VersionTracker and
MacosXhints for PDF related terms.
I recently found this to be helpful as well

the /Library/PDF Services folder.
on the website's screen shot are lots of entries in the print dialog

(self created) folder is empty. ;-) where do i get the wbesite's demo
applescript services from?
Those items in the menu are not demo scripts, especially as some
require
certain applications to work. Some are also not scripts, they can be
aliases
to folders and applications. The example code on the web page is the
only
demonstration I know of how it works, when using AppleScript.
and does anybody known of a script putting multiple PDF files
together or
appending one PDF to another?
PDF Services allows you to post-process a PDF created using this
facility.
This does not give you the tools to do any manipulation of the PDF
file. It
just give you the facility to choose the script, application or
whatever
which will then run.
I don't think Mac OS X provides any tools for doing much manipulation
of PDF
files. You may need Adobe Acrobat. I don't have it, so I am not sure.
If you did have tools to do this, then the way you would use PDF
services
would be to save PDF files of each page to a specific folder. Later you
would run another script to join them together in order to print them
as you
want. I don't think you would want to join them as you go along. You
may
want to change one and would need a way to replace a page in the large
PDF.
