If I understand you correctly you are trying to print multiple pages of
plots to one pdf, not multiple plots on one pdf page (the subplot command).
I never new there was an append option in matlab or octave. I looked into it
and thought the Report Generator Toolbox was needed to do this in Matlab. I
always called the command line pdf tool pdftk
(http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/index.html) from octave. If it's not
installed by default I expect it should be in your default ubuntu repos.

after printing all my pdf's to single files, usually Figure1_*.pdf,
Figure2_*.pdf, at the end of the script I combine them all 
>system('pdftk *.pdf cat output combined.pdf');

You can add watermarks, split, merge, rotate, etc pdf's all from octave by
calling pdftk.

If you want only one pdf in the end you can do
delete Figure1*
delete Figure2*
.... etc deleting all the single pages after combining them to one pdf.

Hope that helps.
