Upgrade version of pdftk-java in docassemble-os #684

Closed nonprofittechy closed 1 year ago

See discussion here: https://github.com/SuffolkLITLab/docassemble-ALWeaver/issues/871

Manually installing http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pdftk-java/pdftk-java_3.3.3-1_all.deb fixed the issue. There appear to be a number of bugs fixed in this release; given how central pdftk is to Docassemble's operation, it would be worth specially installing from this or a different location given how there's no way other than execing into the Docker container to install this.

The latest version updates pdftk. By the way, pdftk has been largely supplanted by pikepdf. It is still used for PDFs that need to be flatted or converted to PDF/A, and it is used for the multiple overlay function.
