Hi Tom

>> I then want to combine all four into a four-page pdf file,

I could not get ImageMagick to drive GhostScript to do this. I was using a Perl
program to drive ImageMagick.

I could not get GhostScript's command line client to do this, but then I don't
think it's meant to do this.

I got this extaordinarily short Perl program to do it, having written another
Perl program to generate the 4 files:
o result_a.pdf
o result_b.pdf
o result_c.pdf
o result_d.pdf

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use PDF::Reuse;

# -------------

prFile('combo.pdf');

for (qw/a b c d/)
{
        prImage("result_$_.pdf");
        prPage();
}

prEnd();

>> 1: Can it be done in one fell swoop?

Yes. As above.

>> 2: Is it quicker to do it in one fell swoop or is leaving it in
>> separate steps quicker?

Do what /exactly/?
