Split and merge PDFs with pdftk

Update: Unfortunately, pdftk seems no longer to be maintained for Fedora 21. So if you’re having problems getting hold of it, try the alternative utility poppler-utils. You can find the guide at http://jorge.fbarr.net/2015/02/20/split-and-merge-pdfs-part-2/.

First install it:

yum -y install pdftk

1	yum -y install pdftk

Then use it:

Merge

pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf

1	pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf

pdftk mydoc.pdf burst

1	pdftk mydoc.pdf burst

A very handy tool.
