I seem to remember just using Evince to fill in the blanks in some
forms, and it'd generate a ready-to-send/print PDF.

And my ordinary scanning software was quite capable of putting scans
into a PDF.  I hadn't looked at doing OCR with that, too.  As far as I
was concerned that aspect was "not my problem."  Let *them* deal with
that pain.

Actually, trying to make any PDF coherent in that fashion is fraught
with problems.  They like to construct the things in seemingly random
columns of text.

Various things that generate multi-purpose PDFs with a printable or
readable version for people to look at, and a quite separately embedded
data for machine assessment.

If I wanted any separate PDFs joined into one, I used the pdfunite
command line tool.  Though my scanning software was quite happy to keep
adding scanned pages into one PDF file.
