I don't understand your e-mail, does anywhere pdfunite does what you want it 
to do? As far as I can see, no.

If you want pdfunite to do something it does not do, you can either open a bug 
in the bug tracker being *very specific* about what you think should be added/
changed/fixed or you can send a patch.
