There's even a FreeBSD port for it:
  print/py-reportlab2

-cpghost.

I think the reportlab program is a bit overkill not to mention the huge 
learning curve. I have used the port 
 
     /usr/port/print/pdftk
 
with some success to insert watermarks, merge files and rotate the pages. 
Nothing beats the real thing when working with PDF files and while Adobe 
Acrobat Professional is not cheap, if your doing real work it's worth the 
investment.
