We used different solutions for different projects... 

One project uses pdfTK (https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/ 
<https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/>) which is a free tool to merge 
multiple PDF documents into one. If you merge seven single page PDF files you 
would end up with a single PDF file that has seven pages. It does not merge 
content of multiple documents into a single page, if that is what you need.

In another project our source files were images. We converted them to a single 
HTML file by embedding the images as Data Urls 
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs 
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs>). 
This approach does allow arranging images on a page, but you have to do this in 
HTML. As this is an HTML document, you would either use the browser to print 
them, or open the file in Word.

A third approach, again based on images, was creating Word documents with an 
image on each side and then saving it as a PDF document. We used 
GemBox.Document for this (https://www.gemboxsoftware.com/document 
<https://www.gemboxsoftware.com/document>) but it would work with a not too old 
version of WinWord or many of the other libraries. Because this is a .NET 
library, I used wwDotNetBridge to call it.
