Hey guys,
Just thought I'd chime in here:

Plotting all the sheets and then combining them into a PDF should
do the trick. For color (set the path to schhist according to the
directory structure on your system):
PATH=$PATH:/home/qi/eda-tools/schhist
cd board-m1/r4
rm *.ps
eeschema --plot=ps --plot-sheetref m1.sch
for n in *.ps; do normalizeschps $n _$n; done
../../eda-tools/schhist/schps2pdf -o m1r4.pdf -t _m1-_ _*.ps
I've uploaded the result to

Kicad has recently added support for plotting multi-page PDFs (
https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg08086.html) to their testing branch (which I believe you used for your command line patches?). It seems to work quite well in the limited testing that I have done. Just wanted to let you guys know in case it makes your lives easier :)
Luke.
