I must admit I like the basic premise of the suggestion, but in deference to it not being taken up can I ask something rather simple, that PDFTK could if possible just detect a single file in the command-line startup and open it in Join mode. This would allow the program to be invoked from SumatraPDF as a custom menu item to open the currently-viewing file for extracting pages, or be invoked from explorer on some selected file. It's a bit cumbersome to do without it, and like the original author...

Hello, I wrote a 30 pages Word document (a Newsletter) and made a perfect PDF. There was a working Table of Content which kept working in the PDF version. Later I realized that there was something missing on page 23. I tried to reopen the original Word Docx, but it was corrupted. Only partially corrupted, page 23 was valid and workable. So, I thought of PDFtk. In Word, page 23, I added the missing image and converted page 23 to a PDF document. Then, with PDFtk Builder, I split my PDF file into 30...

Some time ago (ie 12years) I modified Angus' s 3.6 code to allow resizing of main window to be able to show very long paths. Your 'mode' option helps but would be useful on occasion to ve able to expand it. refer attached, (i no longer have Delphi installed)

Hi! At first, many thanks for your hard work. It is a really helpful tool! Regarding my FR: it would be very great if you could externalize any string, so that one could easily add a new language. ATM I use a resource editing tool to translate the software on my own but this is extremely hacky in my opinion. A real language file would be super helpful in this regard! Keep up the great work and stay safe! Holger

I assume that your request to make the "dialog box" resizable is specifically referring to the width of the file name column of the main form. I think the changes already implemented in v4 adequately handle the UI issues associated with long file names/paths --- see following explanation. In both the original (v3) and enhanced (v4) versions of PDFtk Builder, the main form is not resizable and the width of the columns in the source PDF file list are fixed. This simplifies the UI design and assures...

Hi Really pleased to find that you have carried forward the work on PDFtk Builder. One feature I would like to see is the ability to resize the dialog box as many pdfs I work with have longer path and file names. Michael

PDFTK Builder Enhanced is just a GUI for the underlying PDFtk command line tool, PDFtk Server v2.02, which actually generates the PDF files. In general, I would expect the file sizes to be similar when splitting files, even though the Sejda PDF Java SDK underlying PDFsam Basic is actively maintained and marketed, while the last release of PDFtk Server was back in 2013. Since you did not furnish a copy of the original PDF file that you split, there is no way to determine why the file for the first...

I found a small issue with output size when we split pages in this version, imagine the size of the main file is 1.2mb with 20 pages and I'm splitting the 1st page. output size of file is 345kb in PDFTK Builder Enhanced in PDFsam I get 64kb only.

Version 4.1.6 (28 May 2021) is a minor update to PDFTK Builder Enhanced that adds a red indication on the Document Protection panel button when encryption of output PDFs is in effect. This indication is visible even when the Document Protection panel is collapsed. Encryption of output PDFs is set by entering one or both passwords. In general, encryption should be avoided since it complicates use/distribution of PDFs and compatibility with other PDF tools. Also note that the underlying PDFTK Server...

Attached below is a copy of copyfiles.ps1, a Windows PowerShell script that I wrote to copy a list of files to a common destination directory with a 2-digit sequence number prefix added to each file name to maintain file order. This script can be used to populate the 'Join Files' window of PDFtk Builder Enhanced and any other PDF merge tool that supports drag and drop, with files from a list. The following are instructions on how to set up the script and use it. copyfiles.ps1: Copy the text of PowerShell...

David Thanks for the suggestion to use PDFsam, however I am always avoiding Java coded applications. I can drag and drop a group of files into SumatraPDF TOC editor to generate a merged PDF, albeit the output currently drops any bookmarks (one usage for pdftk-builder-enhanced) I will look into your suggestion to renumber the files. Thanks Command Line / file list Sent from sourceforge.net because you indicated interest in https://sourceforge.net/p/pdftk-builder-enhanced/discussion/general/

If you need a free GUI PDF merge tool that directly supports loading PDF documents from a list (.txt file), I recommend you consider PDFsam Basic (pdfsam.org). It does exactly what you are asking for, even allowing the user to drag the .txt file containing the file list directly onto the window of its merge tool. The ability to accept an external list of files seems to be rare among PDF applications. To support reloading documents, most applications appear to favor internally generated recently used...

It would be useful to be able to populate the initial file list with a set of filenames Obviously passing a single name would be a minimum for say splitting but it gets more complicated to specify ranges etc I suggest a plain text file could initially be used to preload the first tab c:\path\filename.pdf d:\path\second file.pdf optionally without making it too complicated for page ranges etc Actions.txt PDFIN c:\path\filename.pdf PDFFILE2 d:\path\second file.pdf PDFOUT e:\path\outfile.pdf

That resolved my problem. Thank you very much!

libiconv2.dll is a GNU Win32 package used by pdftk.exe to convert character encodings in international environments. I have never had a need to use it with PDFtk but it is included in the download of PDFtk Server from the pdflabs.com web site and is also available from gnu.org. I have added a copy of the file to the download file PDftkBuilder-4.1.5-portable.zip. Download the .zip file again and copy the added libiconv2.dll file to your PDFtk Builder folder. Let me know if that resolves your prob...

I have the same issue. I ran the command line, and got an error from pdftk.exe saying that libiconv2.dll was not found. Oddly, the command fails silently in PowerShell. The error only shows as a popup in cmd.exe shell.

ADDENDUM: You can also do the following to determine whether the GUI is involved in the problem you are experiencing. The following will run the pdftk directly from the command line to execute a dump_data command without using the GUI. (1) Open your PDFtk Builder Enhanced folder in Windows Explorer. (2) Copy a PDF file which is giving you problems to the folder and rename the file: in.pdf. (3) Open a cmd prompt in the folder. Note: If you do not know how, create the following two-line text file with...

I have never encountered such an error and an unable to reproduce it with the info provided. Your list of installed files looks OK though. Does this problem occur with the 'Dump' tool for all source PDFs or just specific PDF files? I downloaded a 277-page PDF of the Sidis manuscript shown in your screenshot from: http://www.mortenbrask.com/wp-content/uploads/The-tribes-and-the-states-SIDIS.pdf and was able to perform a dump of the PDF file on my system without a problem. Of course, I am not sure...

Hi, I get this error message in the Toolkit section. A listing of the unzipped files is also attached. Is there anything particular that I might try to overcome the messages? I have tried several pdf files. Thanks, Cyril
