Description David GEIGER 2015-07-18 11:26:45 CEST 
The pdftk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents, and this package is used by many users.

It seems the package was mistakenly removed from Mageia 5 before the release, at the same time the "java-1.5.0-gcj" package was removed whereas it does not depend on it.

This update candidate adds pdftk back in the repos.
