The ReportLab open source kit is well capable of doing this, and will make
your reports look better as well, as long as PDF is an acceptable output
format.

Greg replies:

Indeed, the reportlab toolkit kicks butt!. I downloaded it and in less than
4 hours I was showing off the proof-of-concept to my coworkers. The merging
of the two files is simple (though we are doing some manipulations which are
not) and I am creating pdf files that may allow us to stop printing the
reports off altogether (nearly 1000 pages per day).

Thanks, everyone, for the great suggestions!
