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
