[Solved] Combining pdf files not possible in OpenOffice.org?

I downloaded Open Office because someone told me I would be able to open several PDF files at once and combine them into one doccument (I am trying to create one PDF doccument which is around 200 pages long. It is currently saved as 5 different word doccuments and the same 5 converted to PDF. I cannot add them all into the same Word doccument and then covert that to a PDF as it destroys all the table formatting etc).
Having read other posts I now realise this is not possible- Open Office does not allow you to open PDF doccuments.
Does anyone have any other ideas how it would be possible to combine these 5 PDF files?

Thank you

... or use a virtual pdf printer. (for example: PDFCreator)
... or use a standalone software to manage pdf files (for example: PDFTK builder)

Brilliant, thank you.
Sorry, I should have googled it, just got a bit confused by the advice to use Open Office
