Do you want to do this manually or as a feature on a website?

If manually, this is a built in feature Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I'm not sure about previous versions as I've never had a need for it.

If you google "merge pdfs" you'll all so get links to several pieces of software that do this.

If online...
Master_script_maker has solutions below. :D

Have you looked at what master_script_maker posted? Don't those scripts fit the bill?

If not, you might want to consider the option of just zipping up the selected pdfs instead of combining them into one.
