I haven't used Pdftk for some of the things detailed in the article, so I don't know: other than being declarative, what's better about this than Pdftk? I've always been able to use Pdftk for my needs, and it satisfies picky publishers' tools that barfed on other ways of achieving my goals.

For complicated tasks (say merging two PDFs, one of which needs to be upscaled and rotated) - it will take a dew attempts. And if this ends up being a repetitive task, you can commit the markdown file to code, which explains the intent much better than pdftk’s command line arguments.
