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.


Additional Information:
This package was retiered from Fredora caused by licensing issues from the
bundled iText library. Now we have a new iText library in the Fedora collection
which doewn't has this licensing issues. So I have to wipe out the bundled
iText library from pdftk and apply the patach provided by Andrew.Haley.

Unfortunately, I will get the following issue during installing the package:

$ export LANG="C"; rpm -i pdftk-1.41-6.fc10.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        /usr/lib64/gcj/itext/itext-2.1.4.jar.so()(64bit) is needed by
pdftk-1.41-6.fc10.x86_64

But the /usr/lib64/gcj/itext/ directory contains the following files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   40960 Feb 12 21:29 itext-2.1.4.jar.db
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7122584 Feb 12 21:29 itext-2.1.4.jar.so

It will be nice, if you have a hint to solve this issue.

Perhaps someone has a hint to solve this issue.
