Sometimes I need to e-mail a document I’ve received by post mail. My scanner does not provide GNU/Linux drivers, so I must use the help of the Windows XP notebook available at home. I scan the document, get several files and store them in my kubuntu system.

But I want to send a unique document, so my recipient gets it easier. For that I use pdfshuffler. It is quit an easy tool, but it pays the bill.

I execute it with the command:

$ pdfshuffler

A simple screen rises, with four buttons:

1. Quit
2. Delete page(s)
3. Import pdf
4. Export pdf

I’ll use 3 of them:

1. Import pdf(s): loading the documents in the same order I wish them to be paged in the new pdf
2. Export pdf : when I’m done loading, I store the new file
3. Quit: I’m ready to send it by e-mail
