PDF Toolkit aka `pdftk` has been removed from the Debian repositories.

Today, I used an alternative GUI application called PDF Arranger to split, rotate and join some pages in a PDF from a scan.

Gnome's PDF viewer (evince) can do rotation by itself, but not the rest.

We are launching an end-of-year fundraising campaign with a simple goal: to reach 1,500 Friends of GNOME. And we need your help!

https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2025/12/01/join-friends-of-gnome/

This week, we will also be sharing and celebrating the accomplishments of GNOME over the past year here on the fediverse; be sure to follow #FriendsOfGNOME!

Finally, if you’re already a Friend of GNOME or join this month, please join us in posting with #FriendsOfGNOME as well so that we can thank you. 😊
