You can do this with a short batch file and pdftk.exe (not pdftk Builder which is the GUI version).
There is no need to install anything.
There is no need to install anything.
Preparation
- download & extract pdftk with UniExtract
- Open ..pdftkbin* and copy pdftk.exe and libiconv2.dll to a folder of your choice
-
create a new text file and paste the following code
- Save it as [email protected] in the same folder as pdftk.exe and libiconv2.dll
- create a shortcut of this .cmd and place it in your sendto folder (Win+R » shell:sendto)
Usage
- Go to a folder with some PDF files and select as many PDFs as you want
- Right-click them and choose the shortcut you just created
-
a new binder PDF in the same folder will be created where all selected PDFs are merged into one

If you're on Linux (or Mac, or any environment where it is installed), you can use a command-line tool called ghostscript to combine them.
You can also use the following to combine all files in the current folder
You can download ghostscript here. There's a Windows version as well, but I didn't test it.

I have used the above solution successfully. However, on my system (Windows 7 64-bit) the code as it is adds the PDFs in (apparently) random order, not alphabetically by filename.
To get it to add files in alphabetic order you will need to add the sort-object parameter to the DIR (aka Get-ChildItem) command (the sort-object takes no parameter here as filename/alphabetically is the default):
Those who have filenames of the form 1.pdf 2.pdf ... 10.pdf etc. rather than 01.pdf 02.pdf .. 10.pdf may also like to try a variation of this:

There is a new online Advanced PDF Manipulation tool called Sej-da which is still in Beta, which has a myriad of PDF functions (inc ability to merge multiple pdfs). It free & could well help your needs.
A brief review of its functions was carried out only a couple of weeks ago by Revision 3:

Perhaps it is better to use a batch scenario. Create and collect all your pdf files as xxxx.abcdef.pdf.
First part is the so-called batch tag; second part is file identifier (file name). Tags for each back are similar in length and value; name of files come after the point.
For instance your first batch consists of 1111.3425.pdf, 1111.76501.pdf, so on. Your second batch is 22222.1432.pdf, 22222.4398, so on. And so on and so forth for other batches.
Then you can use automated merge software that can deal with thousands of files creating a separate merge for each batch. I found this Dysprosium free software that does not need a command line or a batch script. You can download it as a portable JAR file. It has different automated scenarios; one described in this answer as tagging and one as your required folder separated.
Depending on your hardware you can batch merge thousands of files into pre-destined batches.

Try PDFMerge. But don't use the initial form where you have to select each file one by one. Instead, wait for the site to check your Java installation, then click on 'Try the PDFMerge Java Applet' link. Once the applet is loaded and allowed to run, click on Choose files button, and you'll be able to select multiple files (to merge into one file).
The merging will be superfast and will be able to handle large number of files as nothing is uploaded into the website. Everything is done in your computer itself using your Java installation.
PS: Sorry if you're looking for an offline software that can be customized to create single PDF files across multiple folders.

If you are on mac you could create an Automator script to achieve this task. Make it as a folder action and simply drop the pdfs into it and see it happen! If you want I can show you how, are you running mac?

On Linux
I wrote this rather long command line
But it does the job, I tested it, it also works with how many levels of folders you have. Just make sure that you run it a the root of the folder structure.
You need

for this and on Ubuntu Linux you can install it with apt:
