Just for curiosity:
can you try with these filenames :
yujo_insurance000.pdf
yujo_insurance001.pdf
yujo_insurance002.pdf
yujo_insurance003.pdf
yujo_insurance012.pdf
and so on ?
It seems texexec is rearranging things for us. If I have three files:
pabscan001.pdf
pabscan002.pdf
pabscan010.pdf
Both of these statements produce the same output:
texexec --pdfarrange --result=pabscana.pdf pabscan001.pdf pabscan010.pdf
pabscan002.pdf
texexec --pdfarrange --result=pabscana.pdf pabscan001.pdf pabscan002.pdf
pabscan010.pdf
Namely, the order is interpreted as:
TeXExec | arranging file pabscan001.pdf
TeXExec | arranging file pabscan002.pdf
TeXExec | arranging file pabscan010.pdf
Here is the full output of
texexec --pdfarrange --result=pabscana.pdf pabscan001.pdf pabscan010.pdf
pabscan002.pdf
TeXExec | arranging file pabscan001.pdf
TeXExec | arranging file pabscan002.pdf
