Looks like it's not maintained anymore in Fedora repos. You can try installing it by downloading the RPM packages:

I'm looking into packaging pdftk for the purposes of this. I cant guarantee anything because gcj is dead, but I'm fairly positive that I can gleam some information from how other distros handle it.

It's lightly tested and appears to work on Fedora 27. Extracted and bundled libgcj.so.* with pdftk from EL6 in rpm format.
