I'm not exactly against the patch but it looks like it's pdftk that needs to
be fixed to interpret '-' as stdin. Let's say that another command line
application decides that '+' is stdin. Should iText be patched again to
support another arbitrary symbol? ('-' may be the convention for stdin in
command line but iText is not a commad line application, pdftk is)

Subject: [iText-questions] Patch to allow reading pdf file from pdftk
Hallo,
I'm the maintainer of pdftk and the co-maintainer for iText on the
Fedora project.
After we have migrate pdftk to iText-2.1.5 an user has complaints, that
they could
not read a pdf file from stdin.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495574
To solve this issue I have create a patch which is attached on this mail.
Following the guideline of the Fedora project I want to provide this
patch to you
for upstream integration.
Best Regards:
Jochen Schmitt
