I find ghostscript does everything I need (wrt PDFs). Can you remove passwords, change internal permissions wit ghostscript?
I don't know, I never had the need. Well, that's the kind of things we need "pdftk" for.
Agreed. For anyone having to handle PDFs -- which is almost everybody these days -- it's just too useful to let drop in the bitbucket.
I don't understand, however, what is the technical issue with it. I only have this paragraph from Bruno Friedmann:
+++---------------- Wuut this one is needed by myself. As seen here (devel repo) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Publishing/pdftk
pdftk is victim of gcj removal. I've not checked if it can be build without. ----------------++-
I don't understand what it means. What is "gcj removal"? A java compiler?
man gcj:
+++---------------- NAME gcj - Ahead-of-time compiler for the Java language
DESCRIPTION As gcj is just another front end to gcc, it supports many of the same options as gcc. This manual only documents the options specific to gcj. ----------------++-
I don't understand it.
Is pdftk done in java? Can't it then be built with plain java? Or interpreted instead of compiled, or whatever?
The good news for us users is that Bruno needs it, he says, so I hope he can find a solution.
What I did was: download libgcj-gcc6-6.2.1+r239768-5.5.2.x86_64.rpm from rpmfind.net and add to my local rpm repo. Add the Publishing repo (contains pdftk package) zypper in pdftk (also pulls in the libcgj package). pdftk is now available for me on latestest tumbleweed version. I also downloaded the pdftk package and added to my local rpm repo. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
