Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Since this is intended to be open source, I was really hoping not to
rely on an external tool. Code branching is the opposite of fun for;
if windows and the user has installed PDFtk, use this external
executable path,
else if linux and pdfjam, use this command
else if mac, use this command
else go into meltdown
I already have to do that for wkhtmltopdf to tidy up a bunch of the HTML
outputs and incorporate them, and it is a maintenance nightmare when
sharing the codebase.
Hence my wish for something internal. Much sadness.
But thanks for the answer anyway.
