Glad you got it working. One further note: you don't need to say things like

ex = Dir["P:\project\bin\pdftk.exe"]
file = Dir["P:\project\bin\combined.pdf"]

all the Dir[...] command does is expand shell wildcards for you. So
Dir["*.pdf"] will return an array of all the pdf files in the current
directory, but Dir["combined.pdf"] will just return back
["combined.pdf"] since there are no wildcards to expand.
