Is there an app called pdftk for suse?
I know there are many apps to handle PDFs, but this one is unique in its capabilities... I haven't found another which can do all the same things. I find ghostscript does everything I need (wrt PDFs). I recall using gs back in the early '90s quite a bit for printing in

Imagine you have an indeterminate number of separate pdf files from a scanner whose filenames are ordered alphabetically. You need to make from these a single pdf file, but prior to collating them, rotate each of them individually to differing degrees -- e.g. 1) 90, 2) 270, 3) 0, 4) 180, repeating this until all files are processed; and as each input file is appropriate rotated, it is collated into a single pdf file. In pdftk all of that is done with one command, no gui. As far as I know, ghostscript can't do that. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. And, well, pdftk can do a lot more. It's really crappy of gnu to be killing off such a useful utility.
I found a binary called pdf90 also pdf180 and pdf270 they appear to be part of the pdfjam the man page states "pdf90 - rotate the pages of pdf files". They come from the package texlive-pdfjam-bin on my 42.3 system. Try that. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
