Here's a Makefile snippet from one of my projects.  Note the steppers-new.pdf 
target which magically compiles several schematic pages into a single 
document.


# List of PDF files to build
PDFFILES=gpio-existing-ip.pdf gpio-new.pdf steppers-existing.pdf \
	steppers-new.pdf

%.pdf: %.ps
	ps2pdf $< $@

%.ps: %.sch
	gschem -p -s /home/peter/geda/share/gEDA/scheme/print.scm 
	  -o $@ $<

all: $(PDFFILES)

clean: 
	-rm -f *.ps *.pdf gschem.log

extra-clean: clean
	-rm -f *~

steppers-new.pdf: steppers-new-1.ps steppers-new-2.ps
	gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
	-dAutoRotatPages=/All -sOutputFile=$@ $^
