PDF manipulation is still very limited in Linux so don't expect the same 
manageability and easiness of Acrobat Professional or such programs 
here :-)

That said, I would make first the big PDF file (with all the needed 
appended files in there) and then make the bookmarks with a program that 
allows creating/editing them, like "jPdfBookmarks¹".

Dunno whether "pdfkt" or "pdfedit" will allow creating/editing bookmarks.
