So I look for a way to implement PDFTK into Bionic. The mayor problem is the gcc version, pdftk needs 4.6 bionic has 6. So the tool is not running under Bionix from default. I personaly mad a decision to try to activate the old Artfull sources to install PDFTK and after that remove the Artful list again. Jul 29, 2015 - The package ***** has no installation candidate. ERROR: Install Failure: tcpick (Error Code: 100) * ERROR: Install Failure: pdftk (Error Code:.
Pdftk is missing from the official repository right now. That's an issue for many people. There's a workaround here: However some might prefer a GTK approach and/or use a standard installation instead of one relying on OpenJDK. Those more acquainted with the terminal can download and install from there.
You'll need:. gdebi (highly recommended over GNOME Software/Software Center), install it from the software center or $ sudo apt install gdebi. a few dependencies from the artful repositories (.deb files):. libgcj-common (download: ). libgcj17 (download: ).
pdftk, also from artful repo (download: ) Basically the process is opening and installing the.deb files - preferably on gdebi - in the order below. It might be interesting to open pdftk first on gdebi just to see the 'impossible dependency' warning. We're basically installing the dependencies from an older repository, so it'll run like it did in 17.10.
The order is:. libgcj-common. libgcj17. pdftk After that you might want to check the status of pdftk at the software center - it might say it is not installed; install there or maybe just let it be. Go to the terminal and check pdftk: $ pdftk It should now be installed. Hello @mikestewart, unfortunately, for reasons I don't know, the GNOME software center has issues with configuring dependencies, unpacking, and setting them up in the system.
Maybe it has been fixed already, but I remember from earlier LTS releases of things like not being able to run.deb packages and (in this version and earlier version) the program installs but there are missing dependencies that the software center didn't warn you about, despite saying the install was succesful - it has been a while, but, if I remember correctly, believe this was one of the issues with pdftk – Sep 2 '18 at 2:11.

I have a large collection of half-page sized PDF cut-sheets that are held in a folder on my Linux server. A user to the site will want to create a booklet from a subset of these. The booklet will be bound therefore the even pages of the collection will want more margin on the right side and the odd pages will want more margin on the left side. There can be up to 200 pages in a collection out of a universe of 500 pages so I don't want to regenerate each page to set the margin of it. It would take too much of the servers time to run the content through the DOMPDF. Just building the document using PDFTK is fast.
I'd like to merge the document with PDFTK from a centered PDF file and add the appropriate margin for the odd or even page. If not PDFTK then is there another tool that might do the job?
