PDFtk: the (free) PDF editor for Linux, and Mac OS X, and FreeBSD, and Windows, and Solaris

by Forrest Sheng Bao http://fsbao.net

I have been searching for a free software on Linux that can remove pages from a PDF file for me. Now I have found it. And I found it has many cool features. 

It is called PDFtk. If I wanna remove the first and the last page of a 10-pages pdf, all i need to do is this:

pdftk old.pdf cat 2-9 output new.pdf

The project website is http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/

Here is a simple tutorial: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/442414-manipulating-pdfs-with-the-pdf-toolkit
