Package: pdftk Version: 1.41+dfsg-10 Severity: important
Hello The issue is that it is not working. PDFTK is expert in PDF, so it shall by itself merge the document and can be able to detect the number of pages of a gives PDF. How do you shuffle PDF pages if the pdf are always differnet to make A 1 3 5 .. B 2 4 6 ... :/tmp$ pdftk A=even_Parity__mathematics__-_Wikipedia__the_free_encyclopedia.pdf B=Odd_-_Wikipedia__the_free_encyclopedia.pdf cat cat A1 B1 A2 B2 A3 B3 A4 B4 A5 B5 A6 B6 A7 B7 A8 B8 A9 B9 A10 B10 A11 B11 A12 B12 output final.pdf Error: expecting page ranges. Instead, I got: cat Errors encountered. No output created. Done. Input errors, so no output created. It is in that sense of no use since even a simple shuffling merging is made complex to even impossible. Hoping to find better alternative than pdftk. I heard convert is not that bad for similar issues All the best Kind regards -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pdftk depends on: ii libbcmail-java 1.44+dfsg-2 Bouncy Castle generators/processor ii libbcprov-java 1.44+dfsg-2 Bouncy Castle Java Cryptographic S ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libgcj-bc 4.4.5-1 Link time only library for use wit ii libgcj10 4.4.5-2 Java runtime library for use with ii libitext-java 2.1.7-2 Java Library to create and manipul ii libitext-java-gcj 2.1.7-2 Java Library to create and manipul ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 pdftk recommends no packages.
