Here's the 2 scripts I wrote and associated with pdfs to pull apart
and combine pdfs:
$ cat pdftk_burst
#!/bin/bash
cd ${1%/*}
/usr/bin/pdftk "$1" burst
rm doc_data.txt
$ cat pdftk_cat
#!/bin/bash
cd ${1%/*}
outfile="00out.pdf"
if [ -f $outfile ] ; then
rm -f $outfile
fi
/usr/bin/pdftk *.pdf cat output $outfile
Sweet!
