Very interesting, but what about linux?

Is there any tool (or collection of tools) that offer the same options for 
linux?

  Oh. That's only for Microsoft.

  I've been using pdftk (the PDF Tool Kit) for several years. It has the
same functions, perhaps more. Unfortunately, it does not have a GUI, but is
strictly command line.

  Like the tool itself, the relevant web page is just text:
   http://directory.fsf.org/pdftk.html.

The PDF toolkit is a good place to start for Linux:
http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/. There are also Windows and Mac packages.

Ghostscript/ghostview has had the ability to work with pdf files for
some time now, and is already installed on many distributions of
Linux.

There are a number of other tools available as well, IIRC. However, gv
has worked well for me.
