How to combine PDF files, one page from each, in turn?

I'm looking for a way to combine PDF files, taking one page from each file in turn. (Kind of like "reverse dealing" cards back into the deck.)

 

MacOS Automator calls this "shuffle" combining. 

 

Thanks

If you want to do it with two files, you can use this (paid-for) tool I've developed for this purpose:

If you want to do it with more files I could customize that script for you to do that. You can contact me privately to discuss it further by clicking my user-name and then the blue "Message" button.

Thanks, but $50 is a bit much for a script. 

 

 I need 4 files processed. But if the answer is: "it can only be done in Acrobat using scripting", then that's good to know.
