Question

I'm looking for a program that can:

combine several PDFs so that the first page of each PDF has an odd page number in the combined document (e.g. by inserting a blank page if needed at the end of PDFs that have an odd number of pages)

If possible:

easy to use (e.g. no need to write some scripts)
work on Windows 7, but other Windows or Linux is OK too
free

Surprisingly, Adobe Acrobat Pro XI does not seem to allow such a PDF combination easily (if you know how to do it with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, please add an answer in the linked question, but ideally I'm looking for an easier/cheaper solution).

Explanation / Answer

There is pdftk which is available for windows and includes a free version - the only trick you might need to use is to have a blank page to insert as needed.

There are free & paid for versions and a command line server version, (included in the free version).

If you would like to get sophisticated then install python and pyPfd2 this will allow you to set up a script that will do exactly what you need, again you will probably need a single blank page inserting where needed. (N.B. Both are free).
