[gentoo-user] renumber pages in pdf files

[luis jure]

hello list,

i' currently using an application called jpdftweak to edit metadata in pdf
files, like page numbers. jpdftweak is very useful, but being a gui app
it's slow for repeatedly editing many files.

does anyone know a way to renumber the pages (logical numbers) in a pdf
file from the command line? i would expect that this should be possible
with something like ghostscript, but i can't find anything in the
documentation and google doesn't show any relevant results.

best,

lj

look at app-text/pdfjam

The first few lines of `pdfjam --help` probably contains enough
information for you to do what you want.

command line, i mean)
