Derek,
There are a few programs I use a lot to do what you want to do
PDF-shuffler [1], pdfsam [2] and PDFtk [3].
PDF-shuffler is by far the easiest to use. PDF-Shuffler actually
renders each page for you and allows you to drag and drop the pages to
different locations in the file. It does run with python so should
theoretically be able to be installed and run on Mac. I can see some
precompiled versions [4, 5] on google that you may want to give a try.
pdfsam is good but limited in what you can do. That is only split and
merge files. You can explode pdfs then merge individual pages but it is
all done using file names, i.e. you can't 'see' what you are doing.
pdftk essentially gives you everything you need to access the pdf
libraries it uses from the command line (i.e. bash terminal). You can
easily join, split, encrypt any PDF files but again you can't 'see' what
you are doing.
My current workflow is to manipulate the PDF using PDF-Shuffler then
encrypt using pdftk.
