You can run the PdfManipulator from the command line using JPedal:
java -jar jpedal.jar --manipulate ...
Single operations
Perform one operation in a single pass. Each pass will write to disk.

See Manipulate PDF files in Java for a description of each operation.
Multiple operations
To reduce the amount of disk writes, you may chain together and perform multiple operations in a single pass. To achieve this, the first two options must be the input and output files, specified as follows:
--input inputFile (String) --output outputFile (String)
Alternatively, you can create a blank document:
--newDocument mediaBox (float[]) --output outputFile (String)
Then you can specify any of the operations listed below. They will be applied in the order you provide them.
--addImage pages (PageRanges) imageFile (String) imageBounds (float[])
--addPage pages (PageRanges) mediaBox (float[])
--addText pages (PageRanges) text (String) x (float) y (float) baseFontName (String) fontSize (int) r (color) g (color) b (color)
--addText pages (PageRanges) text (String) x (float) y (float) baseFontName (String) fontSize (int) r (color) g (color) b (color) a (color)
--attachFile pages (PageRanges) embeddedFile (String) fileName (String) annotationRect (float[]) annotationColor (color[]) annotationIcon (String)
--copyPage sourcePage (int) destinationPage (int)
--embedFile embeddedFile (String) fileName (String)
--isolatePage pages (PageRanges)
--nUp pages (PageRanges) rows (int) columns (int)
--nUp pages (PageRanges) rows (int) columns (int) scaling (float)
--removeEmbeddedFiles inputFile (String) outputFile (String)
--removeJavaScript inputFile (String) outputFile (String)
--removeMetadata inputFile (String) outputFile (String)
--removePage pages (PageRanges)
--rotatePage pages (PageRanges) angle (int)
--setPageRotation pages (PageRanges) angle (int)
--scalePage pages (PageRanges) scaleX (float) scaleY (float)
--scalePageContent pages (PageRanges) scaleX (float) scaleY (float) translatePreset (int)
--scalePageContent pages (PageRanges) scaleX (float) scaleY (float) translateX (float) translateY (float)
