I've recommended PDFTK a couple of times here, and use it daily to run my business, as well as a solution for a couple of my client's. PDFTK is a command-line utility to manipulate PDF files, merging, collating, stamping or data-merging PDFs with a zillion options.
It is getting long-in-the-tooth and has caused some upgrading issues with me over the past couple of years, as the versions I have are bound to older libraries and an upgrade path is unclear. There's also some licensing issues that means it's no longer included with Fedora/RedHat, my preferred Linux builds. I have on occasion rebuilt it from source and it is not a pretty thing; it uses a toolchain of Java build tools I'm not familiar with, and had difficulty tweaking to work. I saw a thread on a Fedora Users forum this morning that suggested a drop-in command-line replacement called mcpdf: https://github.com/m-click/mcpdf "Mcpdf is a drop-in replacement for PDFtk. It fixes PDFtk's unicode issues when filling in PDF forms, and is essentially a command line interface for the iText PDF library with a PDFtk compatible syntax." Haven't tried it yet, but wanted to alert folks to the possibility. If someone here does work with it, I'd appreciate hearing how it works for you. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4uuhsau+57rq_vju54ucbbur3jqi7djjeyd9xu5y8i...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
