Can you combine multiple pdfs and export as seperate files?

Sounds like a simple question, but hopefully this will help explain my predicament!

At present I have approx. 20 different pdf's containing data; and a generic pdf that I would like to attach at the front of each of these different pdf's, and then save as 20 new combined documents

I know that I can do this manually by drag and dropping between open windows or using the create / combine pdf function in acrobat, however this is a one off and I will eventually be asked to combine over 100 on a regular basis.  Is there a way that this can be worked on in acrobat?

I am up against strong firewalls so cannot download anything from the internet, so was hoping a work around in Acrobat could help.  I look forward to any suggestions?

Thanks

    Then you can use an Action to insert a specific file into all of them.

    This can be done using a script, for example. If the file path to insert is C:\Temp\Cover.pdf and you want to insert it as the first page of each file then execute the following JS code:

    this.insertPages(-1, "/C/Temp/Cover.pdf");

    Remember to add a command to save the files after the one that executes the script, though.
