It would be good if someone who could pick it up w/o the issues that

is a bit useless to make the comment here. But hopefully senior folk
in Fedora can give a push for pdftk to be "somewhere" within the
Linux world that Fedora users can pick up (and also Centos).
We'd love to have it in Fedora. The itext5 author is really the
person
to talk to here.
Who would that be? Can this go to RPMfusion?
That's up to the RPMfusion people. But really, that's a lot less
ideal than having the software licensed in a truly open way so everyone
can benefit.
Completely agree with this sentiment! But we can not do much here, I
guess, except hope!

I'm running pclos-kde, and I had not heard of pdftk, but my system has
it available in
the repos, so I looked up the description. It seems to be a very
useful, competent tool
with a lot of features, so I really don't understand why Fedora would
drop it. However,
it is available from PDF labs in an rpm version, so you should be able
to download it
and install in Fedora. Here's the url:
https://www.pdflabs.com/docs/install-pdftk-on-redhat-or-centos/
(I don't know if it has dependencies that you no longer have in
addition to not
have pdftk.)

I downloaded the el6 64 bit version, and ran rpmrebuild to rebrand it as
fc21 and tried to install it.
Below are the reasons why fedora dropped this package:
# yum -y install pdftk-2.02-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Examining pdftk-2.02-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm: pdftk-2.02-1.fc21.x86_64
Marking pdftk-2.02-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm to be installed

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
