Description Denis Bitouzé 2017-09-18 12:31:13 CEST

Description of problem:
The pdftk software has been packaged for previous releases of Mageia:

https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pdftk&submit=Search+...&system=mageia&arch=

but not for MGA6. Is it possible to remedy this lack?

Comment 1 David Walser 2017-09-18 22:52:22 CEST

Technically it's possible, but it's dead software that doesn't build anymore.  IIRC it's Java-based which doesn't help either.

Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
Status: NEW => RESOLVED

Indeed. Meanwhile, I has been aware of `qpdf` which provides almost the same features.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for pointing that out!  I'll try to keep that in mind when people inevitably request this yet again in the future.

There exist a fork pdftk-java.
I built it successfully via alien from deb-package.
https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/pdftk-java
May be this fork can include in Cauldron?
