A script can be used to combine all files in a folder. It can also create bookmarks that point to each file, although 2000 files might be pushing it a bit... Another option is to use a stand-alone tool to do it.

I've developed both versions, you can find them here:

Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Batch Combine All PDF Files in a Folder (script version)

Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Batch Combine All PDF Files In Folders (standalone version)
