Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

It looks like Debian people are still taking care of this tool and maybe we could import their patches ;)

See also https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562568.

This tool does not work anymore.

Problem solved by emerging manually, to force the update of the libgjc reference to the right & latest version.

Comment 3 mfld.fr 2017-05-14 07:47:38 UTC

Looks like that, even with patches from Debian, this tool needs to be revised by upstream devs. I think you should close this defect as duplicate of https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562568.

Comment 4 Marc Vinyals 2022-02-02 13:33:29 UTC

These patches got eventually merged upstream, see https://gitlab.com/pdftk-java/pdftk/-/issues/10. Therefore this bug can probably be closed.
