Hi,
We had a similar scenario and in this case we had the respective output pdfs generated individually and merge them with PDF DOC Utils in XML publisher.
A sample java code is:
* Method used to merge the pdf outputs of all the jobs to generate single pdf output
     * @param mfile          String          final output file name
     private void mergeOutput(String mfile)throws Exception{
     try{
          m_log.writeln("Merge following PDF files", LogFile.EXCEPTION);
          // Initialize inputStreams
          FileInputStream[] inputStreams = new FileInputStream[m_opfiles.size()];
          for(int i=0; i<m_opfiles.size(); i++){
               m_log.writeln((String)m_opfiles.get(i), LogFile.EXCEPTION);
               inputStreams[i] = new FileInputStream((String)m_opfiles.get(i));
     // Initialize outputStream
          FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(mfile);
m_log.writeln("Instantiate PDFDocMerger", LogFile.EXCEPTION);
          // Initialize PDFDocMerger
          PDFDocMerger docMerger = new PDFDocMerger(inputStreams, outputStream);
          docMerger.setPageNumberCoordinates(400, 20);
          docMerger.setPageNumberFontInfo("Arial", 10);
          docMerger.setPageNumberValue(1,1);
          m_log.writeln("Merge Documents ", LogFile.EXCEPTION);
          // Merge PDF Documents and generates new PDF Document
          docMerger.process();
          docMerger = null;
     catch(Exception ex){
          m_log.writeln("Document Merge Failed. " + ex.getMessage(), LogFile.STATEMENT);
          throw new Exception("Document Merge Failed. " + ex.getMessage());
These classes are part of the library "oracle.apps.xdo.common.pdf.util" which you may consider reviewing.
