pdfchain is a gui for pdftk

pdfshuffler does some of what you ask

pdfedit has pretty full editing capabilities, though less of the shuffling/rotating variety.

They're all GUIs, but I can't speak to whether they'll have all of what you ask. Probably do at least between them.

They're all in the repos for Debian, so they should be for Ubuntu.

 ubuntu/linux: what is the best known pdf book compostion tool?

hi linux/ubuntu folks:
 
in windows I know there is acrobat, I'm not talking about "producing
pdf" here.
 
I'm talking about, given a pdf book, how to:
* delete , add, re-arrange pages
* rotake ,flip some pages
* generate the index,
* make a printer friendly layout, like 2 pages per side, with some gaps
for each page.
* etc...
 
currently I only know of pdftk, that I can burst the whole book into
pages, and delete, add, re-number all pages, then cat them all together
into a new book...
 
this seems a lot of work with this command line tool.
 
any better tools ?
 
thanks!
