Google reverses 5M file limit in Google Drive
... That happens to be a Python alternative to PDFtk[1]. It’s been kind of abandoned in recent years, though.
Also, in the early times of OLE 2.0 MS Office included a utility called Binder that could put several Office documents in a single file and edit them using a common interface. Nothing came of it.

Papermerge (almost) 2.0 is out!
In UI you can cut pages from one document and pasted those pages into another document. Afterwards you can sort/reorder pages. Up until version 2.0 Papermerge was using pdftk for "cut" and "paste" operations. Because of pdftk licensing (plus its dependency on java) - it was replaced by stapler which is pure python equivalent of pdftk. Stapler is BSD licensed.

A better document viewer
If by "like a photocopy" you mean the file contains images of text rather than text, the MacOS viewer presumably does OCR on the images. I don't know if there's a Linux document viewer with that capability built-in, but a quick search turned up the standalone tool OCRmyPDF.
