Summary

If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk-java 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: 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, and repair corrupted PDF (where possible).

Pdftk-java is a port of the original GCJ-based PDFtk to Java. The GNU Compiler

for Java (GCJ) is a portable, optimizing, ahead-of-time compiler for the Java

programming language, which had no new developments since 2009 and was finally

removed in 2016 from the GCC development tree before the release of GCC 7.
