Just a word of warning here. I'm using that too (though not concatenating - not being a chains and bondage person), and recently I had a series of mailmerged documents where some stuff would be missing in the resulting PDF - sometimes a few fields in the header of the document but the rest would be fine, sometimes it would just stop producing PDF somewhere halfway through a table. Looking at the intermediate .ps file, I don't see anything wrong, but then the PostScript is complicated anyway, and me not seeing a difference between the last good line and the line where it stops doesn't mean GhostScript (even the latest version) won't see it. And the PS driver is very old, Adobe isn't updating.

It seems that it happened with documents created in Word 07, while the printing to PS was on W03, with the plugin which enables it to read W07 documents. It seems the plugin is, as M$ would say, suboptimal. Solved by installing W07 on the machine where the conversion runs (it's a batch thing, so I wouldn't have to install it on all workstations).
