If that is the case, then the task is admittedly harder, but not impossible ;)
As for PDF manipulation & merging directly in PHP (with the help of imagick extension), I will be posting the code to my blog (the website associated with my email address) as per Scott MacVicar's suggestion, within the week.

It can easily be done using the Imagick extension (Image Magick extension for PHP), as I have just done something similar (taking multiple PDFs and combining into flattened multi-page PDFs) Is PHP the best language for this? Depends on your knowledge and confort level with PHP. The best language is the language you know best and can easily accomodate your requirements. - spoonChristian, Interesting to know, however the OP's question was about using PHP to run the scanner, not on the already present PDFs in the FS. Can your solution handle the scanning? Could / Would you be willing to share you solution on merging the PDFs? That is something that I am interested in...
