Multiple operation on pdf in ubuntu using pdftk package

Pdftk package provides a lot of options  to work on Pdf, like concatenation, bursting, bursting  selected number of pages, Encryption , Decryption

 Examples:-
     
  • Decrypt a PDF
    pdftk secured.pdf input_pw foopass output unsecured.pdf
  • Encrypt a PDF using 128-bit strength (the default), withhold all per-       missions (the default)
    pdftk 1.pdf output 1.128.pdf owner_pw foopass
  • Same as above, except password 'baz' must also be used to open output       PDF
    pdftk 1.pdf output 1.128.pdf owner_pw foo user_pw baz
  • Join in1.pdf and in2.pdf into a new PDF, out1.pdf
    pdftk in1.pdf in2.pdf cat output out1.pdf
    or (using handles):
    pdftk A=in1.pdf B=in2.pdf cat A B output out1.pdf
    or (using wildcards):
    pdftk *.pdf cat output combined.pdf
  • Remove 'page 13' from in1.pdf to create out1.pdf
    pdftk in.pdf cat 1-12 14-end output out1.pdf
    or:
    pdftk A=in1.pdf cat A1-12 A14-end output out1.pdf
  • Join two files, one of which requires the password 'foopass'. The out-       put is not encrypted.
    pdftk A=secured.pdf 2.pdf input_pw A=foopass cat output 3.pdf
  • Uncompress PDF page streams for editing the PDF in a text editor (e.g.,       vim, emacs)
  • Burst a single PDF document into pages and dump its data to doc_data.txt
    pdftk in.pdf burst
  • Burst a single PDF document into encrypted pages. Allow low-quality printing
    pdftk in.pdf burst owner_pw foopass allow DegradedPrinting
  • Rotate the first PDF page to 90 degrees clockwise
    pdftk in.pdf cat 1E 2-end output out.pdf
  • Rotate an entire PDF document to 180 degrees
    pdftk in.pdf cat 1-endS output out.pdf
