You can merge your individual pages by using a few simple terminal commands and a really useful utility called pdftk.
Once you have the command for this you can use applescript to run the command from the shell.
This way you have no need to use Acrobat to merge pdfs, just the command line.

That's pretty cool!

Just had a play with it and found a problem though - if you are merging PDF *forms* then you lose all of the form fields, buttons etc. Of course, I'm assuming that I'm not missing something obvious!

So an interesting tool, but be wary if you're working with PDF forms.
