How to best create multiple two sided pdfs with the same back page

Question

I was having an issue recently finalizing a project. The end deliverable was to be a two-sided postcard, with multiple versions of a front cover to be run with a data merge in Indesign, but using the same backside for all. After the data merge was finished the document contained 548 front pages. After extracting the pages in Acrobat I had all single pdf files of the front side. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for the most efficient way of combining the individual front sides with the back page document. I was hoping there was a quicker way than Combining Multiple PDFs and having to manually click both documents 548 times.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I didn't understand if these are individual files, or one single file.

If the former, you can use the Action Wizard to insert a file to the existing document, and run it on all of them.

If the latter, you can use a script, like this (paid-for) tool I've developed that does just that:
