[Linux-disciples] Merging two .pdf or .docs for duplex printing

Thanks.  I have been having fun with pdftk.  However, I am still a little
green to even basic command line commands.

doc-a.pdf has 100 pages. doc-b.pdf has 1 page.  I want the combined document
to look like  a1,b1,a2,b1,a3,b1,a4,b1...  In other words, combined.pdf
should be 200 pages long.

I am sure this is basic, but I can't find an example of this in man files or
online tutorials.
