version 2.04 is released - this version (or actually 2.03) fixes the handling of UTF-8 characters in "pdfinfo" data. It builds with the unchanged ebuild from 2.01
it seems pdfjam_2.04.tgz isnt available on their servers :/ 2.03 is though
David Firth (the author) is very cooperative and provides numbered versions again - from the homepage: If for some reason you don't want the latest version, you can still get older versions. Since version 2.00 the URLs are all of the form http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam/pdfjam_VN.tgz, with "VN" representing the version number. So "VN" could be 2.00, 2.01, 2.02, 2.03 or 2.04; from PDFjam version 2.05 onwards, the dot will be omitted from the version number in the file name, so "VN" will be 205, 206, etc.)
thanks; bumped to 2.05 then :)
