Can you recommend any command-line pdf tools? As a student I have to look at lots of pdfs and the gui tools for manipulation are very lacking.

I used pdftk for this project,

https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/pdftk-java/pdftk.1.en.h...

I only used the subcommands "cat" (extract & concatenate PDF pages) and "update_info" (to edit ToC metadata).
