PDFTK rocks, but the fact you can’t just “yum install” it in FC8 doesn’t. You can read all the gory details somewhere else. This is just the solution.

Wow. That took nearly 2 hours Googling. I spent a while trying to make from source too… Nope

Just do what it says here:

(it worked for the x86_64  FC8 I’m using as well)

Be aware there are a *lot* of errors, but it gets there in the end

[root@xyz123]# rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/pdftk-1.41-5.fc8.x86_64.rpm
