In addition to batch converting between formats, you can batch merge folders of PDF files to a single merged PDF by opening the "Batch Convert..." window from the Win2PDF Desktop "File" menu:

Set the "Convert Files From" setting to the folder containing the PDF files to be merged. You can type in the location, or click "Change Folder" to browse to the location.
The "Save To Folder" setting allows you to configure the location of the merged file. It must be a different location from the "Convert Files From" folder. You can type in the location, or click "Change Folder" to browse to the location.
The "Save Type" setting controls how the source files are merged.
