For reference, and to increase the chance that volunteers will be found:
Could you provide the exact PDFtk commands you'd like to be able to run with Mcpdf?
Volker,
Say, i have a backgrounds pdf file (my letterhead with first page, following page in letterhead pdf
Then i used to use
pdftk -in myletter.pdf multibackground letterhead.pdf -output outfile.pdf
Since the claim is to replace pdftk with java - jar mcpdf, the rest will stay the same
by the way:
create a file /bin/mcpdf:
content:
java -jar /path/to/mcpdf-0-x-y.jar "$@"
cheers
Thomas

Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub.
Thanks for specifying the command. Hope that volunteers will be found.
Regarding your second proposal, it would be great if you could create a pull request for README.org
. (However, note that the path should be ~/bin/mcpdf
for user installation and /usr/local/bin/mcpdf
for system-wide installation. Also, for portability the shbang line should be #!/bin/sh
. Or, if you insist on using Bash, use #!/usr/bin/env bash
as Bash is not always installed to /bin
on all Unix systems.)

?!? "I�m a printer of little brains�� There�s a lot of things on my plate, one of them being to have to learn about all that pull request whatnot. Ain�t gonna happen soon, i�m afraid. So, do go ahead and make it yours, i googled it up anyhow, so i shan�t claim any more cleverness than being able to google it up properly.

right, /bin/sh it is. (just remebered the wrong shebang typing the mails by heart) i actually put the jar in its own directory in /opt/mcpdf, and linked around a little, to be able to update without fiddling too much in /bin, but that�s just me.
best regards

both commands are very much needed commands for classic office usage - virtual version of printing on letterhead paper
