Just one more for those reading.  If you just want basic functions, like 
pulling out all the odd numbered pages into a new pdf, try "pdftk"  It 
is not an editor, more of a manipulator.  From the man page:

DESCRIPTION
       If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic 
staple-remover,
       hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses.  
Pdftk is a
       simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents.  Use it to:

       * Merge PDF Documents
       * Split PDF Pages into a New Document
       * Rotate PDF Documents or Pages
       * Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required)
       * Encrypt Output as Desired
       * Fill PDF Forms with X/FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms
       * Generate FDF Data Stencil from PDF Forms
       * Apply a Background Watermark or a Foreground Stamp
       * Report PDF Metrics such as Metadata and Bookmarks
       * Update PDF Metadata
       * Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document
       * Unpack PDF Attachments
       * Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages
       * Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams
       * Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)
