Well, you can't. Apart from other problems, merging PDFs
is not as easy as merging text files. You might want to
take a quick look into the PDF spec before ranting about
lazy developers:

In certain cases you can probably do something, like
using iText to merge the PDF file directly generated
from your XML with your existing XML. You'd need to
write a custom Java program, or perhaps FOP extension
elements.
