%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.

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,
