Depends what you want to do. On a Mac, I use Preview which is the default PDF viewer; it allows me to cut, copy and paste scanned pages from one PDF to another. I also do some things with Perl and CAM::PDF which makes writing filter-like programs that do page-level operations fairly easy, e.g. I have one that deletes the odd-numbered pages from a stdin-supplied PDF and writes the resulting PDF to stdout and I think it’s about 12 lines total. Anyone care to guess what my use case for this is? -Frank McConnell
