It's worth mentioning that this is a really nice utility for
manipulating PDFs, taking them apart, rearranging them, putting
pages together, and a whole lot more. I've used it hundreds of
times. Probably anyone who has to work with PDFs would have need of it.
In Centos 7, poppler-utils RPM has pdfdetach and pdfunite utilities
which allow to manipulate pages in a pdf.
That's great to know. Linux should have multiple ways to do one and
the same thing. In a free world we shouldn't be dependent on just one
solution. Indeed, pdfedit is another app for manipulating PDFs.
Having skimmed through the docs on these and others mentioned in this
thread, none of them can, in addition, rotate selected pages (i.e.,
turn them by 90, 180, or 270 degrees), plus select pages by the
keywords "odd" and "even". The GIMP can be used to rotate PDFs, but
it's a PITA to do it there and it can't natively select and then so
manipulate multiple PDF pages programmatically.
Rather than my repeated replying to this thread, docs on pdftk can be
found at https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/.

For future reference, to ease the search for other here later, I finally
found an RPM for PDFtk for RH/CentOS/ScientificLinux versions 7.x at
https://www.linuxglobal.com/pdftk-works-on-centos-7/ which the kind
folks at Linux Global put together and posted for the world.
