Perhaps you could try to call pdftk using TProcess? It's open source and multi platform (at least Windows and Linux).
I thought pdftk was a thin wrapper around a library... "pdftk uses a slightly modified iText Java library (http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/) to read and write PDF. The author compiled this Java library using GCJ (http://gcc.gnu.org) so it could be linked with a front end written in C++. The pdftk home page is http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/.";
There'd probably be a problem calling the backend library, if it uses Java or C++ OO techniques, from FPC- I think somebody in the list commented on this a few days ago. I wonder whether it would be possible to modify the pdftk program to be a library with a single entry point, callable as a Pascal function?
