Merging PDF documents

I'm trying to figure out a way to combine two or more PDF files into a single file. I scan 100's of paper invoices at one sitting. Each printed page goes into its own PDF file.
Example:
Invoice #999999 would wind up in a file named 99999901.PDF if it was a single page. If it was three printed pages long, I would wind up with three files named 99999901.PDF, 99999902.PDF, and 99999903.PDF.

I want to run a script that would take these three files and combine them in the proper order into a single file called 999999.PDF.

My biggest problem right now is just figuring out how to get started. How do I create the object needed to manipulate the PDF's? I'm assuming that I should be able to do something like what I've previously done with Excel:
Code:
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
I've found some info on how to use certain third-party PDF-writing apps for this but shouldn't I be able to do this with Acrobat 8.0 Standard?
