-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-7661 2009-07-15 20:00:15 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pdftk Product : Fedora 11 Version : 1.41 Release : 21.fc11 URL : http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/ Summary : The PDF Tool Kit Description : If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover, hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents. Keep one in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to: * Merge PDF Documents * Split PDF Pages into a New Document * Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required) * Encrypt Output as Desired * Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages * Report on PDF Metrics, including Metadata and Bookmarks * Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams * Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible) Pdftk is also an example of how to use a library of Java classes in a stand-alone C++ program. Specifically, it demonstrates how GCJ and CNI allow C++ code to use iText's (itext-paulo) Java classes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: iText 2.1.7 is an intermediary release fixing some problems with iText 2.1.6: o PdfPKCS7: More robust timestamp extraction. o PdfPKCS7: Ripemd didn't work, some kind of signed attributes couldn't be verified correctly. o PdfStamperImp: Avoid accessing directly member variables from other classes. o PdfSmartCopy: Check deeper for comparison. o Rotation in PdfPCell: take mod before making positive. Changes made by Kevin Day o Fix NPE when parsing Type 0 fonts without a ToUnicode map (I've seen some winding font entries stored as Type 0 instead of TT in some pdf files) o Adjusted unicode to cid mapping so it takes the first one found from DocumentFont. This is just a band-aid, as it doesn't address cases where multiple cids may map to single unicode value. o Fix byte to int sign conversion o Enhance text parsing to handle fonts with encoding but no ToUnicode map. Ref Bug #2792227 o PdfPRow: Cheating a little bit more to deal with a floating point problem (until we can solve this in a more structural way) o PdfPTable/PdfPRow/PdfPCell: Fix a bug for the new rowspan funtionality o PdfStamperImp: Solved NPE problems with producer string o Image in Chunk: Taking into account the top border width of the Image in case the leading has to be changed to accommodate for the image height. o RtfList: The public void writeContent(final OutputStream result) method needs to output RtfParagraph.PARAGRAPH_DEFAULTS after every list. Patch posted anonymously to SF (#2809140). o RtfFont: When adding a paragraph, table cell or other Phrase without specifing the font, by default the "unknown" font is created in the font table. Like: {\f3\froman\fcharset0 unknown;} Word 2000 doesn't recognise the unknown font and waits indefinately. Patch provided by M. Smith on the SF Bugtracker (#2807621) This iText release brings plenty of bug fixes and new functionality such as rowspan for PdfPTable.
