- Extract pages 1-3, 5, and 6-10 from a PDF file and save them as another one:
`pdftk {{input.pdf}} cat {{1-3 5 6-10}} output {{output.pdf}}`
`pdftk {{path/to/input}}.pdf cat 1-3 5 6-10 output {{path/to/output}}.pdf`
- Merge (concatenate) a list of PDF files and save the result as another one:
`pdftk {{file1.pdf file2.pdf ...}} cat output {{output.pdf}}`
`pdftk {{path/to/file1}}.pdf {{path/to/file2}}.pdf cat output {{path/to/output}}.pdf`
- Split each page of a PDF file into a separate file, with a given filename output pattern:
`pdftk {{input.pdf}} burst output {{out_%d.pdf}}`
`pdftk {{path/to/input}}.pdf burst output {{path/to/out_%d}}.pdf`
- Rotate all pages by 180 degrees clockwise:
`pdftk {{input.pdf}} cat {{1-endsouth}} output {{output.pdf}}`
`pdftk {{path/to/input}}.pdf cat 1-endsouth output {{path/to/output}}.pdf`
- Rotate third page by 90 degrees clockwise and leave others unchanged:
`pdftk {{input.pdf}} cat {{1-2 3east 4-end}} output {{output.pdf}}`
`pdftk {{path/to/input}}.pdf cat 1-2 3east 4-end output {{path/to/output}}.pdf`
- Interleave two PDFs with one-sided scans of a two-sided document, where the backs were scanned back to front:
`pdftk A={{path/to/fronts}}.pdf B={{path/to/backs}}.pdf shuffle A1-end Bend-1 output {{path/to/output}}.pdf`
