Is there a straight forward way to append one PDF, doc to another PDF using C++?

Question:I've scoured the Web looking for examples on how to do this. I've found a few that seem to be a little more involved then they need to be. So my question is, using some VeryPDF application, is there a fairly concise way to append one PDF or doc file to another one? Optimally this would NOT involve a third file. Just open the first PDF and doc, append it to second PDF.
