If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover, |
| 24 |
hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a |
| 25 |
command-line tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents. Keep one |
| 26 |
in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
* Merge PDF Documents |
| 29 |
* Split PDF Pages into a New Document |
| 30 |
* Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required) |
| 31 |
* Encrypt Output as Desired |
| 32 |
* Fill PDF Forms with FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms |
| 33 |
* Apply a Background Watermark |
| 34 |
* Report on PDF Metrics such as Metadata, Bookmarks, and Page Labels |
| 35 |
* Update PDF Metadata |
| 36 |
* Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document |
| 37 |
* Unpack PDF Attachments |
| 38 |
* Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages |
| 39 |
* Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams |
| 40 |
* Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible) |

Pdftk allows you to manipulate PDF easily and freely. It does not |
| 43 |
require Acrobat, and it runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and |
| 44 |
Solaris. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Pdftk is free software (GPL). |

I'll let you know how I find it as I too have been trying for some time |
| 49 |
to find a friendly way of editing PDF files... |

BTW, GIMP can do this, but is not really for tool for the job. |
