There's actually now no reason it can't be added back into Fedora. The
issue was the licensing of iText, on which pdftk depends. iText was
pulled from the fedora repos after F-7, but could now be re-added, as
long as an up to date version was packaged, and then pdftk could be
added back to the Fedora repo. It just needs someone to do the work.
