Thank you very much for your reply.

I will try out your idea.

If I have a program that is able to concatenate 2 postscript files, how 
ist it called when I only print into PDFmerge? There is no call in your 
commands ...

Is there a program that concatenates any ps files?
I could use latex to do this. Are there possible quality losses using 
this method (import all ps as full-page latex images?)
If I donÄt find another way, I could also convert all documents to pdf 
and concatenate the pdf files whit pdcat evaluation from www.glance.ch

Unfortunately this is for a student and not for business so there is no 
money for a professional solution.
However, it would be quite a nice feature for kdeprint.

Thank you for your help!
