Re: alternative to pdftk

[Seth Kenlon]

I do a lot of work with PDFs at my job. ImageMagick is, by the
assertion of its own developers, non-ideal for most PDF work because
it is meant for Images and most PDFs have embedded text, postscript
vectors, bookmarks, and all manner of metadata that you probably want
to keep and/or keep lossless.

pdf-stapler is very close to being a proper replacement.
https://github.com/hellerbarde/stapler

It does all the concatenating and rotating and retaining-of-data stuff
that pdftk does.

It doesn't have a very robust system for dealing with bookmarks and
other metadata.

I coasted with pdf-stapler for a while, until I needed to do some
serious PDF editing, at which point I installed Snapcraft (on fedora!)
and then installed pdftk as a snap. Works like a charm, highlly
recommended. Here are notes on how the Snap install goes on fedora:

There's pdf90 (part of texlive-pdfjam)  which, according to its man
page, "rotates the pages of files in the Adobe Portable Document
Format (PDF) through 90 degrees (anti-clockwise)".

Well, I can not test it, sorry. I have F22 installed everywhere.

Perhaps it is time for you to upgrade?

Ranjan, what about putting your package in copr
(https://copr.fedoraproject.org/) so that people can add it as a repo
easily e.g. "dnf copr enable ..."?

pdf-stapler or pdfshuffler are fine tools if you just want to collate
PDFs, but pdftk did a lot more. I've been using it for years to merge
data into pre-built template PDFs. pdftk has a number of very useful
commands to debug issues with data PDFs.

I haven't found another tool in the Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS distrosthat
lets me do that. I have had to switch a large enterprise client onto
that other popular Linux.

Does anyone have a suggestion for other tools you can use to batch FDF
or similar text data into PDF, controlling the output filenames?

Re: pdftk

[Ranjan Maitra]

Paul,

I put in a review request to BZ, and it is a bit stuck there. The BZ people are 
not to be blamed for this however.

The issue is a license file which exists on the git site, but not in the tar 
file on the pypi site. I have written several times to the author (Philip 
Stark) of the package over the past couple of months asking about this 
discrepancy but not got any response. He used to be pretty responsive earlier 
this year so this lack of response is a bit perplexing, actually. 

Looking at this thread, I just decided to post the rpm so that someone may 
benefit. 

I have been using pdf-stapler since F21 and have found it to be very adequate 
for our needs.

Thanks again, Ranjan. I have just done that, and now the command

pdf-stapler --help

works just fine!

Github exports archives for any given commit, tag, or branch head.  If
upstream has tagged releases on GitHub, you can use that as a source.  I
personally prefer to do this; it seems odd to involve a third party, and I
can reliably associate the version in the package with the source repo if I
want to patch or hack.

Re: pdftk

[Ranjan Maitra]

Well, but for that licensing discrepancy, it is good to go for Fedora. I did 
not want to deal with another process so I went the official route. 

I do hope that the licensing issue (it is really a non-issue -- the fact that 
there is no license file in the pypi.org release, but is there in the git 
release) is resolved soon. There are probably workarounds for this, but I did 
not want to mess with this additionally at this point. Perhaps that is the way 
I have to go eventually.

Try again! 

I just realized that the changes requested by BZ actually damaged the package. 
Try downloading and seeing if this works now.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234210

But I am misremembering: this advice was on this list whose other advice 
enabled me to build the package:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2015-May/460713.html

I asked Philip to make the package and he pointed me to the pypi.org 
"authoritative source" before he disappeared.

But the changes submitted as as a response to BZ review appear not to make the 
package work. Reverting it back does.

Pointing to a github release URL is valid. Whoever told you to change "due to the

Well, originally, I had posted the github source, but this had to be changed to 
meet Fedora's guidelines. Then Philip Stark suggested that the pypi.org is the 
authorative source. The source code is the same, but for this license file.

Something like this should give you the same functionality I think:

This can easily be done with pdfshuffler. Just load the .pdf, mark
page 3 and 4, right click and choose "export selection".

I have never seen it fail for me.

As others already have pointed out in this thread, there are some

Not sure, maybe a question for the developers list. itext (I'm
assuming it's the same itext), appears to be back:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/itext/

Previously there was a problem with itext licensing, then by the time
that was sorted itext required gcj, which had gone. Would be nice to
see pdftk return.

There does appear to be pypdf2 which provides a pdfcat, there was some
interesting in packaging this earlier this year

Unfortunately, pdfshuffler does not have the same capabilities than pdftk.
It has a graphics interface.
There is one command easy with pdftk:
pdftk file.pdf cat 3-4 output file2.pdf
that I cannot have with pdfshuffler.
pdftk, is a well established and solid tool while pdfshuffer fails eventually.
While not keep supporting pdftk?

Or you can use poppler-utils, and you could also install F19 (the latest Fedora 
with a working
pdftk) on an USB stick. That's what I did to tailor my documents. It's quite
time-consuming and error-prone to use pdfseparate to remove some leading pages
from a document, which pdftk does in one single action..

 It looks like that the last version of pdftk is pdftk-1.44-11.fc19.x86_64
 for fc21!
 it provides me an error:
 pdftk: error while loading shared libraries: 
 /usr/lib64/gcj/itext/itext-2.1.7.jar.so: cannot open shared object file: No

 it is not in: itext-2.1.7-27.fc21

You can not. You can only wait for a few more weeks while the alternative

 Not clear if this satisfies OSS requirements of Fedora but it would be at 
 least a worthwhile alternative to pdftk's functions. 

The author of this package states:
It’s the first public and testable version, don’t expect it to be
stable and production ready.

So while this may be a beginning, it's most probably not production
ready.

Here's another program which has quite the functionality pdftk has. I
just downloaded the source and compiled it (it needs the ocaml
compiler and libs to be installed and some hackery in the makefiles):

Will give it a try since I heavily depend on pdftk functionality
(alternatively, I'll use a Windows 7 machine at work to do the pdf merging).

Re: pdftk

[Ranjan Maitra]

Btw, I came across this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/?source=typ_t4_highlighted

Not clear if this satisfies OSS requirements of Fedora but it would be at least 
a worthwhile alternative to pdftk's functions. 

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Well, if you look at ITEXT website the software license is AGPL for
itext5, (see http://itextpdf.com/agpl), which is Software Licenses that
are OK for Fedora, (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing).

So it should be OK to use in Fedora or am I missing something?

Regrettably it's a slightly modified AGPL and, though IANAL, it looks
like the problematic additional restriction is still there:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2011-June/001656.html

Which is a pity, because I used to like pdftk and have been missing it
since it was dropped. Didn't know about mcpdu which Raman Gupta
mentioned and will check it out. Would be cool if ITEXT could be
brought back (think it does all the heavy lifting for pdftk), but
would be to be approached diplomatically as ITEXT do have a business
they're trying to run.

Hi,

I've just tried mcpdf. Wrt pdftk is very limited as it does not
implement a lot of functionalities (e.g. encryption,...)

It seems it only supports the following operations: fill_form, output, flatten
Anyway, many of the missing functionalities are already available in iText

One question that I wanted to ask is whether pdftk is continuing on 
other platforms. I first encountered / used / liked on Windows 98. Is 
the non-support of such for Fedora only local to Fedora (meaning whoever 
is writing it is still pushing it out for other opSys)?


Thanks,

As pointed out by others, it used a really old Java stack that is no
longer supported.

There is a more modern replacement called mcpdf.  It supports the same
command line syntax but has much more modern underpinnings.  However,
it uses a newer version of the iText library that cannot be included
in Fedora due to nonfree restrictions in its license:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2011-June/001656.html

If you are fine with those additional restrictions, you are still free
to download and it use it yourself.  Make sure you have OpenJDK
installed if you do not already (`yum install java`), then download
and run it, as described here:
https://github.com/m-click/mcpdf/blob/master/README.org

Thanks for the pointer. Just took a quick look at mcpdu and it isn't
yet close to being a replacement for pdftk. For example, it does not
support named input arguments. Worth keeping an eye on though.

I'm running pclos-kde, and I had not heard of pdftk, but my system has it 
available in
the repos, so I looked up the description. It seems to be a very useful, 
competent tool
with a lot of features, so I really don't understand why Fedora would drop it. 
However,
it is available from PDF labs in an rpm version, so you should be able to 
download it
and install in Fedora. Here's the url:

https://www.pdflabs.com/docs/install-pdftk-on-redhat-or-centos/

(I don't know if it has dependencies that you no longer have in addition to not
have pdftk.)

The problem is that libgcj does not exist on F21. So, we can not run pdftk 
unless we go back to F20.

(I don't know if it has dependencies that you no longer have in 
addition to not

have pdftk.)

--doug


I downloaded the el6 64 bit version, and ran rpmrebuild to rebrand it as
fc21 and tried to install it.
Below are the reasons why fedora dropped this package:

# yum -y install pdftk-2.02-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Examining pdftk-2.02-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm: pdftk-2.02-1.fc21.x86_64
Marking pdftk-2.02-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm to be installed
Resolving Dependencies
-- Running transaction check

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

That's up to the RPMfusion people. But really, that's a lot less

Completely agree with this sentiment! But we can not do much here, I guess,

Okay, I will hope (and in a positive manner as opposed to sarcastic) ...

Well, yes it is a fond hope because as I said, it is a fond hope. But I can't 
make it happen because I do not know the issues that this entails.

pdftk

[Ranjan Maitra]

What is the story with pdftk?

$ sudo yum list pdftk
.
Installed Packages
pdftk.x86_641.44-11.fc19 @fedora

Is it orphaned? That would be a bummer! I depend on it a lot.

pdftk error (/usr/bin/build-classpath: Failed to set JAVACMD)

[Ranjan Maitra]

I have been having this error since this morning: I has no problems
last Thursday when I last used this so some update must have created
some problem somewhere.

$ pdftk --nup 2x2 random.pdf
/usr/bin/build-classpath: Failed to set JAVACMD
Can't get ouput from /usr/bin/build-classpath itext bcprov bcmail
bctsp: Success

What is going on? How do I fix this?

Many thanks,
Ranjan
