19 Thanks for the hint. To find a package
20
21 http://www.portagefilelist.de/ is your friend.

23 It shows that pdf2pdf is part of media-gfx/swftools-0.9.1 which is not
24 in the tree anymore. Furthermore it needs media-libs/pdflib which have
25 been abandoned, as well. But there is a newer version of
26 PDFlib Lite (7.0.5p3). Adapting the old ebuild for 7.0.4_p5 does work.
27 Then media-gfx/swftools-0.9.1 does build and it generates pdf2pdf.

29 Helmut.
