PDFtk is a command-line tool commonly used for server-side processing of PDFs.
Before using it
After installation, this snap will work without further configuration.
For a better user experience with this tool, you probably want to set up an alias to make the command shorter. Simply execute
snap alias pdftk-snap pdftk
However, due to Snap's strict confinement, you can only access PDF files that are in your home folder.
If you want to access PDF files located on removable media, you will need to connect the removable-media interface to this snap. Simply run
snap connect pdftk-snap:removable-media
How to use it
For a better comprehension of the tool, run
pdftk-snap.pdftk --help
or after you set up the alias
pdftk --help

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install PDFtk, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install pdftk-snap
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
