But on command line
pdftk *.pdf cat output junta.pdf
functions normally.

Shell=commandline. Shell does own processing before executing programs. Programming interfaces don't.
There are ways to execute a shell first, let it do processing, and then call the program . See wiki tprocess article.

You could try to use an embedded shell call with
--- Code: ---fpsystem('pdftk *.pdf cat output junta.pdf')
--- End code ---

I can not use this command because it is unique Unit Unix, and the main application must run on Linux and Windows.
BigChimp:
Well, you can call cmd on Windows and sh on Linux with a compiler define. Or you might enumerate all pdfs yourself, then supply them to pdftk..
