Please note that unfortunately there is a high probability that pdftk will soon be no longer part of common GNU/Linux distributions. Reason is that this toolbox (written in C++) uses the `iText' library. Its code is written in Java and gets converted with the Java frontend of the GNU compiler collection, GCJ, to C++. However, GCJ has been removed from GCC; the last supported version is 6.4, and many distributions are already switching to gcc version 7. Besides this, pdftk itself seems to be unmaintained; the last release was 2013. And finally, the current iText library versions use a license that distributions like Fedora don't accept, which means that successor projects like mcpdf (https://github.com/m-click/mcpdf) won't be accepted either. A potential replacement is qpdf. http://qpdf.sourceforge.net/ https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf Werner _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
