my example work daily in a box with very few updated and some builds at |
| 11 |
least 2 years old, and it's the simplest one. |
| 12 |
yet it's working well from a lot of time. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
pdftk is NOT only a wrapper to itext (a 9 years old version [2]) it also |
| 15 |
include a java library for crypto and it's own management in c++ files. |
| 16 |
now, without counting the java crypto lib the c++ files weight around |
| 17 |
8k LOC [3] |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
itext may have been evolved, but calling a 90 LOC java program a "drop |
| 20 |
in" replacement for pdftk seem adventurous ... |
| 21 |
for comparison `pdftk --help` output is 556 lines of text. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
so we can conclude that the "project" is NOT what it claims to be and a |
| 24 |
replacement (even using modern itext with licensing problems) will |
| 25 |
weight at least at least 556 lines? |
