Everyone,

It looks like pdfmerge is broken after the recent upgrade of gs to ghostscript-8.70-6.el5_7.6.x86_64. Has anyone else had this problem. I have just started trying to debug it. If any of you already have solutions please let me know.

Thanks,

Here is a little more information :

I am running pdfmerge witten by F.B. Casse, but it looks like microtronyx.com no longer exists. If any of you have any ideas I would sure appreciate your efforts. The module I need to get repaired takes a hp pcl file and converts it to a tif file, and then single pages of the tif file, and then converts each single page tif file to a single page pdf file. pdfmerge then combines all the pdf single page files into a multi-page pdf file. Everything has worked until the recent update of ghostscript.

I really need this to work so if any of you know who is supporting pdfmerge or have other ideas please help.

pdfmerge --help This is pdfmerge4unix version 1.0-2. pdfmerge4unix is a command line utility program that merges pdf files in unix-based platforms

Syntax: pdfmerge file1.pdf file2.pdf... fileN.pdf outfile.pdf

Options: --help displays this brief help; same as -h Author: Didier F.B Casse didier@microtronyx.com URL: http://www.microtronyx.com/pdfmerge4unix

I was able to bypass the use of pdfmerge with pdftk. pdftk does a pdf merge without mishap. It looks to me that pdfmerge is now broken,

Hope this helps everyone else.
