I have this command from no-idea-where to concatenate PDFs using
Ghostscript (all credit to wherever it's from :), and a quick test
seems to show it working for different page sizes (the pages retain
their respective sizes). If you like the "-join" suffix then use this
script:
#!/bin/sh
exec gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
-sOutputFile="$(basename "$1" .pdf)-join.pdf" "$@"
