So to clear a couple things up, first I am on a Mac, not Linux. Secondly, there
is no particular reason I /have/ to use LibreOffice to edit the PDFs, I could

GoogleSearch, and I already used LibreOffice, I thought I would try it. Also, I
was hoping to use something free, since this is not for anything professional,
just for personal purposes.
I’ve used Preview on my Mac, and it does like 75% of what I want, but the
ability to copy pages from one PDF to another and merge them or cut one PDF
into multiple ones eludes me, which is why I was trying with LibreOffice. But
as I said, it tends to try and read the pictures of words as text, and since
the scans aren’t that great, it ends up just being gobbledygook.
I tried the plugin suggested in a previous post, but that was already installed
in my default install of LibreOffice.
I will try GIMP and maybe some other image editors and see if they work for
what I need. Any other suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Derek
What you need is PDF Split and Merge (http://www.pdfsam.org/). It is
FOSS and there is a version for MACs. You can split any pdf into
separate files for each page and then recombine any mix you want into a
new file.
