Add/ Remove/ Rotate/ Export pages from PDF files with PDF Mod


Many a times we need to add, remove or rotate selective pages from PDF files.
Adobe Acrobat is an excellent enterprise application for these tasks but it costs a fortune.

PDF Mod is a free open source tool that can
  1. Reorder pages
  2. Rotate pages
  3. Add/Remove pages
  4. Export images
  5. Edit PDF properties
  6. Combine multiple documents
To install PDF Mod on your Ubuntu System follow along the two simple steps.

Step 1- Add the ppa to repository (Ubuntu 10.10 + users can skip this step)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pdfmod-team/ppa

Step 2- Update the repository.
sudo apt-get update

Step 3- Now run the following install command
sudo apt-get install pdfmod

Voila! you have PDF Mod on your system now
Right Click on any PDF file and open with PDF Mod to start modifications.
