pdftk cygwin 32-bit

pdftk cygwin 32-bit

[Ivandro Sanches]

I would like to install pdftk but it seems it is not present anymore
among the available packages from setup-x86.exe.

If possible, could you please give me some hint on how to install
pdftk on cygwin 32-bit?

Thanks a lot

pdftk has been removed as it depends on Java
and gcj is basically dead and never worked on 64bit
https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2016-07/msg00037.html

Two solutions:
1) take the old package from
http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/

2) try qpdf
https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-announce/2016-07/msg00001.html

that provide similar functionality

Marco

Thank you very much Marco Atzeri.

Your help also led me to find qpdfview, which can read djvu, ps, png,
etc. It is amazing!

Best regards.

PS: sorry, since I did not know how to answer directly from the thread
in the mailing list
