i have a 3 page word doc mailing that I am merging. I need to add a pdf file
as the 4th page of the document. Is there a way to do this so that when I
merge and print it print/collates all 4 pages for each mailing?

Word has no way to extract text from a pdf file.

Assuming the same pdf file is to appear in every merged document: Use
Adobe Reader or some such to copy the text from the pdf, and paste it
into the merge main document, so it will become part of every merged
document.

If you have Acrobat (or Adobe Reader) from version 7 onwards, you can insert
a one page PDF as an object and such an object will survive a mail merge.
