There's also jpdftweak (http://jpdftweak.sourceforge.net/) which does
a lot more than split and merge. It is also Java based.

I use pdfsam (pdf split and merge).  Seems very good and complete.
I often have to assemble a new document from pieces of others.
Written in Java.

pdfshuffler works well, except that page previews are currently broken 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769732). But it does work.

Ranjan, 


You may use ghostscript(gs) command and select say pages 1 - 8 
A script by Roland Smith may help:

http://rsmith.home.xs4all.nl/software/pdfselect

Download it, make it executable 
$ chmod +x pdfselect 
then run
$ ./pdfselect 1 8 original.pdf
and then
$ ./pdfselect 9 16 original.pdf

two new pdfs should be created.  Try it out and hopefully it works.

Regards,


Antonio

Open with gsview, then File -> Convert, make sure the device
is pdfwrite, then click on the pages you want for each half.

Or use gs (ghostscript command line), something like
  gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=.pdf \
-dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=7 .pdf
and something similar for pages 8 - 12.

See:
  http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/Use.htm#PDF

Print the pages you need into a new pdf file.
