PDF Manipulation with pdftk

I recently had the need to combine multiple PDF's into a single file.  Since I did not own any PDF manipulation software I naturally hit Google for potential solutions.  Of course, I got 53M matches that led to a bunch of scams and online services.  However, when I added +Ubuntu to my search I quickly found a solution and within 10 minutes had delivered a single, merged PDF file to my client.  Man...I love the world of open source.

Ubuntu Rocks!!!

I have used FreeBSD to serve up web sites and e-mail for years.  During that time I considered ANY *nix operating system to be suited ONLY for backoffice applications and felt that desktop computing was best left to Windows (man, nowadays I can't believe I said that).  Boy howdy, was I wrong and my-oh-my how times have changed!!!
