PDF

Extract metadata

Extract PDF metadata, such as chapters and bookmarks, into a text file:

pdftk input.pdf dump_data output metadata.txt

Add metadata in file to PDF

Embed PDF metadata as text into a PDF:

pdftk input.pdf update_info metadata.txt output output.pdf

Remove the first page from a PDF

To remove pages and page ranges from a PDF, use pdftk to:

pdftk input.pdf cat 2-end output output.pdf

The above command will not preserve metadata, though.
