It is known bug bug 1768565 on the LaunchPad about broken compatibility between OpenJDK 11 and PDFSaM Ubuntu package.
I found working solution. We should remove pdfsam Ubuntu-package and download pdfsam-basic from official site:
sudo apt-get purge pdfsam
sudo apt-get autoremove
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://github.com/torakiki/pdfsam/releases/download/v4.0.1/pdfsam_4.0.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get install ./pdfsam_4.0.1-1_all.deb
This is not first time, as Scilab was broken by Java too (see this Q&A).
So Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is not yet ready for enterprise and educational deployment.

This works for me, so long as I set the java version to "8" with:sudo update-alternatives --config javaIt would be nice if there was no need to tweak java versions (as another comment suggests), but unfortunately that's not the case for me. (But the version installed from PPA wouldn't work at all, so this is definitely preferable!)
