Paperjam is a command-line tool for manipulating PDF documents. It allows users to merge, split, rotate, and extract pages from existing PDF files. The tool provides a straightforward interface for common PDF transformations without requiring complex GUI software.
Key Features:
  • Merge multiple PDF files into a single document
  • Split PDFs into smaller files or extract specific pages
  • Rotate pages by 90, 180, or 270 degrees
  • Extract text content from PDF files
  • Lightweight command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Combining scanned documents or reports into a single PDF

  • pdftk – Popular alternative with similar merge/split functionality but larger dependency footprint
