I want to reorder pages of my PDF document by using implicitly .png/.jpg images in the processing, not by the easiest way as some of you want here about pdfshuffler which cannot do this so this is not duplicate. Current extraneous solution requires explicit conversions of images to .pdf

convert *.png all_images_here.pdf
pdfshuffler dummy.pdf all_image_here.pdf

Goals for implicit .png/.jpg conversions to pdf

  1. Pseudocode to have autoconversion of .jpg/.png documents

    new-pdfshuffler dummy.jpg jummy.png body.pdf

  2. Pseudocode about GUI

    • pdfshuffler body.pdf
    • drag-and-drop dummy.jpg and jummy.png to new-pdfshuffler

System: Ubuntu 16.04
Linux kernel: 4.4 and 4.6

Try PDFChain, pdfsam or Master PDF Editor. You can install PDFChain and pdfsam from Gnome Software, or you can type in a Terminal window: 

sudo apt-get install pdfchain pdfsam

Master Pdf Editor is not available in Gnome Software, nor in the old Ubuntu Software Center. You can download the deb package from owner's site and open/install that package with gdebi, synaptic or Gnome Software, or you can type in a Terminal window: 

wget http://get.code-industry.net/public/master-pdf-editor-3.6.30_amd64.deb  
sudo dpkg -i master-pdf-editor-3.6.30_amd64.deb  
sudo apt install -f

As to compare them in terms of capabilities, that's rather subjective and depends on user's taste for the GUI (graphical interface). I personally find Master PDF Editor to be the most complete pdf editor one can find in linux. It's like the equivalent of Adobe Acrobat in linux, minus some secondary features.

There is PDFMod. It is very simple to use, and does what you want.

https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/pdfmod/

It is old and hasn't been updated for a while, but version 0.9.1-8 still works on my 16.04 system.
