   Irfanview is one of my primary PDF tools.  Technically you can not print   
   to Irfanview as a printer,  However you can create multiple page PDF   
   files using Irfanview.   
      
   Assume you have Irfanview with the plugins (I use V4.52 - 32 bit)   
      
   Options, Multipage images, Create Multipage PDF.   
   Gives you a window where you can add images, rearrange them, and a   
   couple of other options.  There are some options on how each page is   
   handled during the PDF file creation.   
      
   Once you have selected the pages and are happy with the arrangement you   
   can then select a folder, a file name, and save the PDF file when it is   
   created.   
      
   I use Irfanview as my primary image processing program.  When I have   
   created a image either scanned or downloaded.  I use text function of   
   Irfanview to add the citation data to the images.  Depending on the   
   document, I use the Canvas resize option to add space to the side of the   
   image where I want the text.  I may resize the image if I feel it is   
   necessary.  For pure documents, I do not need much larger than a 1920X   
   1080 image for readability.   If necessary I uses the drawing tools to   
   annotate the image.   
      
   Once I have done the above to each page for the PDF document, I use the   
   Multipage PDF function above to create the PDF document.   
      
   One thing I recently accidentally discovered is the Irvanview can open   
   PDF document.   
      
   While I have never used the function, I assume that you could use   
   Irfanview to combine PDF files since, Irvanview can open PDF and Save them
