---+Manipulating PDF Documents =pdftk= (an Ubuntu package installed with =apt-get install pdftk=) is a great command-line tool for manipulating =pdf= files. Among other things it can [[SgraphicsHints#CompressPdf][compress]] files and pull out specific pages to create a new document. Here is an example in which selected pages are stored to a new =pdf= file. This is useful when you want to ask someone to print only selected pages, instead of them having to specify the page numbers in the printing dialog. <verbatim> pdftk in.pdf cat 1-12 14-end output out.pdf </verbatim> =pdftk= can join multiple input =pdf= files and do much more. The =pdfshuffle= is a very intuitive approach to simple manipulations using only a graphical user interface. It is installed by going to http://pdfshuffler.sourceforge.net to download the latest =debian= package, then: <verbatim> sudo apt-get install python-pypdf sudo dpkg -i pdfshuffler_..._all.deb </verbatim> =pdfshuffle= is especially helpful when you have a =pdf= file with some pages to remove and some pages to turn rightside-up. It can also merge files (by importing another file when one is already being viewed).
