Use Apache PDFBox library to achieve the same. You have to write Java service to invoke their APIs. Below is a sample URL for starters.

Using PDFBox from the samples on their page.

// pipeline
		IDataCursor pipelineCursor = pipeline.getCursor();
			String[]	filenames = IDataUtil.getStringArray( pipelineCursor, "filenames" );
		pipelineCursor.destroy();
		PDFMergerUtility mergePdf = new PDFMergerUtility();
		
		
			try {
				for(int i=0;i<filenames.length;i++){
					File file=new File(filenames[i]);
					String destFileName=file.getName();
					mergePdf.addSource(file);
					
				}
				mergePdf.setDestinationFileName("test.pdf");
				mergePdf.mergeDocuments();
			} catch (COSVisitorException e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated catch block
				e.printStackTrace();
				IDataUtil.put( pipelineCursor, "error", e.toString());
			} catch (IOException e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated catch block
				e.printStackTrace();
				IDataUtil.put( pipelineCursor, "error", e.toString());
			}
