This function appends multiple PDF files to an existing PDF file, or concatenates them into a PDF file if the output file doesn't yet exist. This can be much faster than appending PDFs one at at time.
This function requires that you have ghostscript installed on your system. Ghostscript can be downloaded from: http://www.ghostscript.com
It also includes code from the export_fig package to interface with Ghostcript.
This function is now included in the export_fig package:

The version here will not be maintained.
