Description:
If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover,
hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a simple
tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents. Keep one in the top drawer
of your desktop and use it to:
* Merge PDF Documents
* Split PDF Pages into a New Document
* Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required)
* Encrypt Output as Desired
* Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages
* Report on PDF Metrics, including Metadata and Bookmarks
* Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams
* Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)
Pdftk is also an example of how to use a library of Java classes in a
stand-alone C++ program. Specifically, it demonstrates how GCJ and CNI allow
C++ code to use iText's (itext-paulo) Java classes.
Additional Information:
This package was retiered from Fredora caused by licensing issues from the
bundled iText library. Now we have a new iText library in the Fedora collection
which doewn't has this licensing issues. So I have to wipe out the bundled
iText library from pdftk and apply the patach provided by Andrew.Haley.
Unfortunately, I will get the following issue during installing the package:
$ export LANG="C"; rpm -i pdftk-1.41-6.fc10.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/lib64/gcj/itext/itext-2.1.4.jar.so()(64bit) is needed by
pdftk-1.41-6.fc10.x86_64
But the /usr/lib64/gcj/itext/ directory contains the following files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40960 Feb 12 21:29 itext-2.1.4.jar.db
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7122584 Feb 12 21:29 itext-2.1.4.jar.so
It will be nice, if you have a hint to solve this issue.
Perhaps someone has a hint to solve this issue.
