As far as I understand you want to merge 9 pfd files into one? As Lonni 
pointed out, this is a case for the expensive Acrobat (win or os x), but 
there is Ghostscript installed on virtually every Linux distribution. 
It's, in many respects, a replacement for Acrobat in handling and 
manipulating Postscript and pfd files, but its command line.
The command for merging file1.pdf, file2.pdf to output file merge.pdf 
looks like this:

gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=merge.pdf / 
file1.pdf file2.pdf ... ((all in one line))
