I suggest that, as Helge suggested, you create a master document that contains 'Input' tags for the two subdocuments. Then create your PDF by calling pdflatex on the master document. Then, if you really want to split the resulting sngle document back into separate PDFs, use 'pdftk' as a post-processing step.
