There appear to be a confusing amount of tools. I have poppler-utils (which contains pdfseparate) as well as pdftk (which can extract single pages or a range of pages and maybe even two non-contiguous pages from a pdf file). I used to use pdfjoin to join pdfs (though there was a bug where some pages would be oriented wrongly) and I needed to join some pdfs recently. But there were so many dependencies for pdfjoin that I decided to try pdfunite (that somebody had recently mentioned here), which I already had installed. It worked perfectly. For editing PDFs, I've only used libreoffice --draw and the Gimp. It's a PITA.
