    ... 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.

    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.
