Spec file: --------------------------------------------------------- Summary: pdftk - the pdf tool kit Name: pdftk Version: 1.12 Release: 1 Packager: Les Bell (lesbell@lesbell.com.au) License: GPL URL: http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ Source0: %{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2 Patch0: gcj4.patch Group: Applications/Publishing BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-root Requires: libgcj BuildRequires: gcc-java BuildRequires: libgcj-devel

%description If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover, hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents. Keep one in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to:

* Merge PDF Documents * Split PDF Pages into a New Document * Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required) * Encrypt Output as Desired * Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages * Report on PDF Metrics, including Metadata and Bookmarks * Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams * Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)

Pdftk is also an example of how to use a library of Java classes in a stand-alone C++ program. Specifically, it demonstrates how GCJ and CNI allow C++ code to use iText's (itext-paulo) Java classes.

Binary RPM's are also available at http://www.lesbell.org if anyone just can't wait.

Back-story:

I had pdftk working fine under CentOS 4.4, but upgrading to 5.0 (with gcj 4.1.1) broke the compile process with the following error:

PngImage.java:568: error: Class 'ImgRaw' not found in type declaration.

So I googled like crazy, worked out a fix, tested it, built a patch file and packaged it up to save others the trouble. There is a spec file for pdftk at svn.rpmforge.net, but it does not use a patch for this problem.

Best,
