How to combine

I have two separate PDFs (eg odd.pdf and even.pdf) and wish to combine/merge them as follows:

After combination/merging

(a) odd.pdf will be pages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 etc

(b) even.pdf will be pages 2, 4, 6, 8 10 etc

Is this possible with PDF-Tools? Split/Merge PDFs tool does not appear to permit this.
