At http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/install-pdftk-on-redhat-or-centos/ you can find pdftk-2.02-1.el6.src.rpm. I do not now about rawhide but out of curiosity I tried on a Fedora 20 installation: rpmbuild --rebuild pdftk-2.02-1.el6.src.rpm That whines profusely, as to be expected from a thingy using Java, but after a not so long while it produces pdftk-2.02-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm pdftk-debuginfo-2.02-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm A spec for all this is somewhat broken as every single file, with an exception of .../man1/pdftk.1.gz, gets installed with -rwxr-xr-x permissions. This is trivially fixable. OTOH after light testing pdftk binary seems to work just fine and it appears to be somwewhat faster then the one from pdftk-1.44-11.fc19.x86_64 (the last one available on Fedora 64-bits mirrors) although I did not try to do any measurements. Oh, and even in a limited application pdfseparate/pdfunite quickly becomes a major PITA if your source file has more than nine pages. Extracting some pieces from a few hundreds pages long text could become "interesting". Michal p.s. URL above has also links to ready binaries for RHEL5, RHEL6, CentOS5 and CentOS6. I would be a bit leery to install those "as is" but in any case they are there. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
