Harry,
I had some problems with pdftk opening up a 1.6 pdf file. It looks
like that was a bug in pdftk 1.14 that was fixed with 2.02-1, but this
version has not hit the Centos 5 repositories. I have another machine
with Centos 7, but pdftk is not available in the 7 repositories.
I am going to remove the repository 1.14 from my Centos 5 machine and
try the rpm from the pdftk website. I'll post again to see if that
allows me to proceed.
Greg
