It is not possible to print two consecutive figures to the same PDF document using the APPEND option with the PRINT command.
As a workaround, you can print multiple figures to a single PostScript (PS) file with the -append option and then convert the final document to PDF using a PS-to-PDF utility. For more information on how to use the -append option, consult the documentation for the PRINT command, which is available at the following location:
The above workaround may lead to loss in sharpness of the image exported.
Another workaround is to  use the “export_fig” function available on MATLAB File Exchange with “-append” option.
Example usage of “export_fig”:
>> export_fig output.pdf –append –r300
