Debian :: Input File For Pdftk?
Apr 21, 2011
This is a question for those that use pdftk. I've been using it for about the last year or so to combine manipulate PDFs and it is awesome. Until today, mostly what I've been using it for has been for less than five files. Today I have been working on a manual at work which consists of about 100 separate files with a total page count of 167. The pages are a mix of 8.5x11(inch) and 11x17(inch). The pages needed to be in a specific order, the only way I could think of to do this instead doing this all in the CLI, I created a text file which contained a list or sequence of the files. To make it easier for me to read and group, I first put each file on a separate line.
chapter1_separation_page.pdf
file1.pdf
file2.pdf

I am curious if perhaps I am doing something wrong extracting pages from a pdf doc using pdftk and creating a new file. I am only extracting the odd pages from the file and outputting them to a new file that is now only 20 pages instead of the input's 40 pages, yet the new output file is still 1.4Mb in size, the same as the original.
It seems strange to extract only half the pages of a large document and end up with a result that is the same size. how to streamline the resulting pdf's using pdftk?
BTW this is the command I am using, in case perhaps I am missing an option to optimize file size or something:
Code:
pdftk A=ch15.pdf cat A1-40odd output odd.pdf

pdftk could be installed in the Suse 11.0 version, and worked very well. I love it. But recently, after I install Suse11.3 on my Dell desktop (64 bits), everything works fine except the pdftk. When I am trying to install it from Yast, it warns:nothing provides pdftk needed by pdftk-qgui-0.1.9.2-0.pm.1.1.x86_86, and gives me two conflict resolutions: 1. do not install it2. break pdftk-qgui by ignoring some of its dependencies.Obviously, none of them are the correct answer .

I downloaded pdftk 1.41 fromand installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 32 bitI am primarily using this utility to uncompress pdf files to remove the 'Flate' compressionIt works good with small pdfsHowever, when i use to uncompress pdf files of size 35MB or more, the uncompressed output file grows up to 2GB and then the uncompression fails with error:"File size limit exceeded"I can concatenate two files with output file size upto 3GB in size, so 2GB is not the limitation at the linux level

Can someone tell me which of the parameters in pdftk is responsible for converting my PDF (which is a bunch of images "staped" together) into a pdf with text that I can ctrl+f? The manual isn't clear enough for me.

I need a script that dose the following checks if files exists by read input from a file then compares them to the files listed in the directory if they don’t exists the script would report back which file dose not exists. I also need to format the output so that files are grouped in different groups, group A, B, and C and etc based on file name. I would like the output of that do not exists files to be sorted based on second number in the file name than group according. I understand some of the basics of bash scripting something along of the lines of a loop and if statements might do the trick. Below is what I have so far. I don’t car so much about the script reporting back the file exists I prefer to only know if the file is missing and is less than 3 days old. Problem is if a file dose not exists in the reports file the test compares against the wrong file.
Group A
Foo22000.tar.gz
Foo22010.tar.gz
Group B
foo25000.tar.gz
foo25100.tar.gz
Group C

I have come to rely on pdftk, which has disappeared in opensuse 11.2I tried just cloning the package from 11.1 into factory & 11.2 in OBS, which didn't work. I tried tracking that down and got bogged down in a maze of dependancies and ultimately some incompatibility with the latest g++ or gcj which I failed to figure out.I see the errors in the build log, I just don't see what's wrong with the code, especially since it builds fine on 11.1. It looks like maybe it was always technically incorrect code, but only now gcj or g++ refuses to accept it. But I can't tell what's actually wrong with it. And the home site hasn't been updated in 3 years so no luck there.Has anyone managed to build pdftk on 11.2 ?Or, is there some other package that can do what pdftk does ? (non-interactive pdf manipulation)I see debian and ubuntu still have it in their latest versions. So next I'm going to try just importing a .deb with alien or maybe try porting their patch set over to my OBS package.

Error reading from file input/output error
And I have to either Cancel or Skip
I've tried to split the files to smaller pieces but the idea didn't work as I still get the same error whenever I try to compress/ split or do any operation with this file. how I can copy this file?

I am splitting a file based on the values read from an input file. The below one is the script.
1)How do I add the header which is present in the original file to the new split files created?(For eg. pharmacyf conatins header as table column names. The new files created (ODS.POS.$pharmacyid.$tablename.$CURRENT_DATE.dat) are without the header).
2) Also the script is creating 0 byte files for the pharmacyids which are not available in the intial file? Can this be avoided?
for pharmacyf in *
do
tablename=`echo $pharmacyf |cut -f4 -d'.' `
while read pharmacyid
do
grep -w $pharmacyid $pharmacyf >> $OUT/ODS.POS.$pharmacyid.$tablename.$CURRENT_DATE.dat
done< inputfile
done

I recently upgraded my file/media server to Fedora 11. After doing so, I can no longer copy large files to the server. The files begin to transfer, but typically after about 1gb of the file has transferred, the transfer stalls and ultimately fails with the message:
"Error writing to file: Input/output error"
I've run out of ideas as to what could cause this problem. I have tried the following:
1. Different NFS versions: NFS3 and NFS4
2. Tried copying the files to different physical drives on the server.
3. Tried copying the files from different physical drives on the client.
4. Tried different rsize and wsize block sizes when mounting the NFS share
5. Tried copying the files via a different protocol. SSH in this case. The file transfers are always successful when I use SSH.
Regardless of what I do, the result is the same. The file transfers always fail after approximately 1gb.
Some other notes.
1. Both the client and the server are running Fedora 11 kernel 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64
I am out of ideas. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I am trying to input from a file. The file's layout has three columns; a department number, a first name and a last name, each separated by a space, for example:
Code:
781-89-4271 Amy Balduff
839-98-4072 Brian Becker
846-43-4284 Christina Brendon
[code]....
I need to input the words through separate variables because I will be passing them to other programs as soon as I can figure this out.

I upgraded my OpenSUSE 11.2 KDE 4.3.5.x to KDE 4.4.2 and am having a couple of issues. Not sure if I am just a bit stupid or impatient figuring them out or what... In Amarok, I used to be able to input or edit the path name under Files (i.e. Browse Local Harddrive for Content). This allowed me to quickly copy and paste a location from Dolphin / Konqueror etc. into and from Amarok for quick access across multiple applications (Especially when sorting out things). Somehow this is either missing (Not possible anymore) or I am to impatient or stupid figuring this out.

when I try to print the current keyboard layout with "xkbprint -o layout.ps" it gives me the error mentioned in the subject. I also remember printing it a couple of weeks ago (and I'm sure I didn't specify any additional options), but now it just doesn't work. Everything I read on the Net assume this command prints the current layout, and so far I haven't discovered even the slightest mention of this error. It's a trifle, but it drives me mad. What could I be doing wrong?

Code:
dd bs=8192 if=Image of=/dev/PS0
In the above command, I cant able to understand the option "of=/dev/PS0"
Whether it means,
1) to write the input file "Image" in to "/dev/PS0" of the Floppy device
or
2) to overwrite the same input file "Image" in a file format ("/dev/PS0") of Floppy.

Write a program that requires the user to input the name of a file as an argument. If the user fails to include one argument it should make use of a thread that handles a signal. The signal handler should tells the user Incorrect number of arguments and then calls the terminate signal on the process.
If the numbers of arguments are correct then the program should allocate memory space to the file (5MB) and create a child process that requests the user for a character that it should send to the parent. The child should keep request for data until the user keys in the character O. During each request it should pause for 10 seconds, send the character to the parent and then requesting again for another character.
The parent should get the character from the child. Do not make the parent wait for the child to finish requesting for data. Make use of pipes to facilitate communication between the parent and the child. A second child should be created to read and display data from the file. Make use of any appropriate Inter Process Communication technique to ensure that the second child and the parent do not access the file simultaneously (Mutual exclusion).

I'm writing a program which now accepts user input:
Code:
echo "Enter a date in the format YYYY MM DD hh mm ss."
read gregyr gregmo gregdy greghr gregmn gregsc This lets the user input a date and time, such as 2011 06 21 15 12 45, and have each number assigned to their corresponding variable. Later in the program, these variables are put into an equation, and then the terminal spits out the answer. Now I have to have the program read all of the lines from a text file, which is in this format, assign the variables.

When running rsnapshot tonight it failed with a bunch of

errors.
I navigated to the directory and tried to delete it manually and I got the same errors. I tried with 'sudo rm directory'. How else can I delete this directory? What would cause a situation like this?

I would like to save the input of gtkterm ( what is displayed from its window) to a file, and this iautmatically. Because from GTKterm you can rsave raw file by clicking "save every to raw file manually". As it's say on the readme file, you can use "gtkterm -f filename.txt", but i tried and any file is created on the current directory.

I just received a 1TB external(Western Digital) hard drive(NTFS) for backup purposes. I'm using an Ubuntu Live CD, and an external hard drive dock. I am transferring over esata and am receiving the error:
Code:
Cannot open file: input/output error
Seems strange that it said "open". At any rate only about 60 of the 200+ GB were able to be transferred over...this won't do. I have tried to copy via CLI using
Code:
cp -r
and received the same issue. For clarification I am attempting to transfer from a mounted partition onto the mounted external.

Design, debug and test a C program that uses Gray Code for decoding information stored in a binary file. Gray Code G(A)of any value A can be easily produced from unsigned binary B(A) using the expression: G(A) = B(A) ^ ( B(A) >> 1 ) (1) The formula may be used to generate coding tables. For example for 4-bit codes:
Table 1. Coding table
Hex Value Binary Gray
0 0000 0000
1 0001 0001
2 0010 0011
[code]....
If the first option is selected, your program shall prompt the user to enter the file name and open the specified file. In this assignment you can presume that the file size is always limited to 64 bytes. If the file is not found, the program shall display a message: File not found and display the menu, so the user can enter file name correctly or exit the program.

I got a new HDD like a Storage on my Ubuntu ,it is formated as ext3 and i am able to mount it ,but sometimes while downloading from FTP ,when the session broke Ubuntu crates some ./afternature.mp4 Input/output error ,which i can see on "ls -l" ,and that causes great troubles to me ,because i can not copy or write on that disk another file with the same one which is created like this ,these error are gone only if i format the hdd .
My mounting command is "mount /dev/hdb3 /tmp/hd ext3 rw 0 0" So is that possible to remove these error without formatting the disk . PS:I did a lot of search for that error ,on unix forums also here but i didn`t find a concrete answer ,i found a thread which is for that case but removing with inode is impossible because on ls -l i`m not receiving the inode .
