Besides, app-text/poppler contains some very useful functions. pdfunite is one of them, which let you concatenate several PDF files into one. Another piece I found useful is pdfseparate. It can separate a PDF file into pages. The combination of pdfunite and pdfseparate let you replace a single page in a PDF file. Command `equery f poppler' shows: /usr/bin/pdfdetach /usr/bin/pdffonts /usr/bin/pdfimages /usr/bin/pdfinfo /usr/bin/pdfseparate /usr/bin/pdftocairo /usr/bin/pdftohtml /usr/bin/pdftoppm /usr/bin/pdftops /usr/bin/pdftotext /usr/bin/pdfunite
