ofstream out("c:\\file_for_really_bad_idea.txt"); will create an empty file. Just repeat 1000 times with the filenames that you want.

I didn't notice it at first but when I looked a second time I couldn't stop laughing... People probably think I'm crazy at work...

Why all that weird activity. If you want so create so many files with PDF content, is suggests you are doing something wrong. If you want to be taken seriously, explain your ultimate goals. Who would want to waste time for advice if the whole idea could be wrong?

SA has said it all. For example what is the point of these files that contain 20 pdf's? Why not 2 or 200?
You need to think this problem out clearly and then explain it all.
It seems you are trying to create some kind of database based on pdfs. If so this is not how to do it.

In addition to everyone's comments, keep in mind PDF's are stored as binary (versus text), so you can't just append one file to another, you have to be able to interpret the files so that PDF readers can make sense of what you put together.

Exactly where I was going. Adobe publishes an API but this is not trivial.

I gave you links to the file handling routines in my answer to your earlier question[^], but you still have not explained which part of this you do not understand.
Generating multiple files is merely a matter of creating loops, and repeating a sequence of create, read/write, close operations.
