When dealing with PDF documents, we come across different requirements such as splitting a document in to parts and sometimes merging multiple documents together. I recently came across a great tool which we can use to do various tasks with PDF documents. I decided to list down few things I can do using pdftk tool and leave a link to a better resource.
(1) Install pdftk tool.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pdftk
(2) Suppose I want to create a new pdf file extracted from the contents of the page numbers 31 to 37 in a larger pdf file. We can do that as follows.
pdftk input.pdf cat 31-37 output output.pdf
(3) Merging two documents one at the end of another.
pdftk input-file1.pdf input-file2.pdf cat output new-document.pdf
(4) Selecting few pages from multiple documents and putting them together into a single document.
pdftk A=input-file1.pdf B=input-file2.pdf cat A110-117 B2-3 output new-document.pdf
That's it!
