pdftk | An unofficial mirror of the pdftk source code

The pdftk package for Alpine was discontinued starting with Alpine v3.9.

For using pdftk on Alpine, you could build the package from source, as suggested.
Alternatively, if you're comfortable with using an older Alpine version, you should be able to use it on Alpine V3.8.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to install pdftk from Alpine 3.8 repositories on a newer Alpine version due to unsatifiable constraints.

Wow, this one is a tricky one. 🔎

When you build the container, the program which executes your instruction set is shell (/bin/sh) whereas when you run docker run -it --rm ubuntu:focal, it is going to be run on bash (/bin/bash).

Basically, you manually ran all your instructions on bash.

The easiest solution would be to use bash to run your instruction set because it already works as you tested.

You can simply instruct the docker to run all your instructions on bash using this command at the top:

Since the error is showing the Class not found, it would make me initially think that the package wasn’t installed in your project. If you run composer require mikehaertl/php-pdftk, does that get you rolling?

If you’re not familiar with Composer, here’s a quick guide to getting started: https://packagist.org/

This will do the needful:

__ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEED1Ev is the mangled name for

std::__cxx11::basic_string, std::allocator >::~basic_string()

That's definitely a libstdc++ thing; libc++ doesn't have a namespace __cxx11.

Apple has not shipped libstdc++ on Mac OS for a long time (several releases). They use libc++ instead.

I wonder why the Mac version of pdftk wants libstdc++

What @daggett said (and his comment is really the answer to this question).

As a groovy script this could be written as:

pdfjam --scale 0.9 --offset '0in -0.5in' old.pdf --outfile new.pdf does the trick

It is doable, but:

1. there is no utf-8 fonts if one uses 'flatten' option
2. has to use 'need_appearances' which excludes 'flatten'
3. Ubuntu's PDF Viewer Evince 3.28.4 doesn't know how to display polish fonts
4. Firefox, Chrome, Adobe Reader 9 for Linux does display UTF fonts properly.
5. and fanks for the downvote without explanation why, SO sucks as usual.

You have mistyped pdftk a.pdf generated_fdf output a.fdf as generated_fdf is not a command. The command is generate_fdf to create an fdf file. You have corrected the command by yourself on windows. See the difference in your both commands. Also PDFTK is not giving an error, it is saying that the file was not found, so the command is not right by itself. Run the same command via your debian terminal, it will work

pdftk "Business model.pdf" generate_fdf output k.fdf

let me know if you face an issue.
