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 linux, but not much since then.
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.
I don't know how to do the rotate with ghostscript, sounds more like a job for imagemagick, but the concatenating of PDFs into one works fine with ghostscript. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
