DESCRIPTION
       If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover,
       hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses.  Pdftk is a
       simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents.  Use it to:

       * Merge PDF Documents
       * Split PDF Pages into a New Document
       * Rotate PDF Documents or Pages
       * Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required)
       * Encrypt Output as Desired
       * Fill PDF Forms with X/FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms
       * Generate FDF Data Stencil from PDF Forms
       * Apply a Background Watermark or a Foreground Stamp
       * Report PDF Metrics such as Metadata and Bookmarks
       * Update PDF Metadata
       * Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document
       * Unpack PDF Attachments
       * Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages
       * Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams
       * Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below.

       --help, -h
	      Show summary of options.

       <input PDF files | - | PROMPT>
	      A list of the input PDF files. If you plan to combine these PDFs
	      (without using handles) then list files in the  order  you  want
	      them combined.  Use - to pass a single PDF into pdftk via stdin.
	      Input files can be associated with handles, where a handle is  a
	      single, upper-case letter:

	      <input PDF handle>=<input PDF filename>

	      Handles  are often omitted.  They are useful when specifying PDF
	      passwords or page ranges, later.

	      For example: A=input1.pdf B=input2.pdf

       [input_pw <input PDF owner passwords | PROMPT>]
	      Input PDF owner passwords, if  necessary,  are  associated  with
	      files by using their handles:

	      <input PDF handle>=<input PDF file owner password>

	      If  handles  are	not  given, then passwords are associated with
	      input files by order.

	      Most pdftk features require that encrypted input PDF are	accom-
	      panied  by  the  ~owner~ password. If the input PDF has no owner
	      password, then the user password must be given, instead.	If the
	      input PDF has no passwords, then no password should be given.

	      When  running  in do_ask mode, pdftk will prompt you for a pass-
	      word if the supplied password is incorrect or none was given.

       [<operation> <operation arguments>]
	      If this optional argument is omitted, then pdftk runs  in  'fil-
	      ter'  mode.   Filter mode takes only one PDF input and creates a
	      new PDF after applying all of the output options,  like  encryp-
	      tion and compression.

	      Available   operations  are:  cat,  attach_files,  unpack_files,
	      burst,	 fill_form,	background,	stamp,	    dump_data,
	      dump_data_fields,  generate_fdf,	update_info.  Some  operations
	      takes additional arguments, described below.

	  cat [<page ranges>]
		 Catenates pages from input PDFs to create a  new  PDF.   Page
		 order	in  the new PDF is specified by the order of the given
		 page ranges.  Page ranges are described like this:

		 <input  PDF  handle>[<begin  page  number>[-<end  page   num-
		 ber>[<qualifier>]]][<page rotation>]

		 Where	the  handle identifies one of the input PDF files, and
		 the beginning and ending page numbers	are  one-based	refer-
		 ences to pages in the PDF file, and the qualifier can be even
		 or odd, and the page rotation can be N, S, E, W, L, R, or  D.

		 If  the handle is omitted from the page range, then the pages
		 are taken from the first input PDF.

		 The even qualifier causes pdftk to use only the even-numbered
		 PDF  pages, so 1-6even yields pages 2, 4 and 6 in that order.
		 6-1even yields pages 6, 4 and 2 in that order.

		 The odd qualifier works similarly to the even.

		 The page rotation setting can cause pdftk to rotate pages and
		 documents.  Each option sets the page rotation as follows (in
		 degrees): N: 0, E: 90, S: 180, W: 270, L:  -90,  R:  +90,  D:
		 +180. L, R, and D make relative adjustments to a page's rota-
		 tion.

		 If no arguments are passed to cat, then  pdftk  combines  all
		 input PDFs in the order they were given to create the output.

		 NOTES:
		 * <end page number> may be less than <begin page number>.
		 * The keyword end may be used to reference the final page  of
		   a document instead of a page number.
		 * Reference a single page by omitting the ending page number.
		 * The handle may be used alone to represent  the  entire  PDF
		   document, e.g., B1-end is the same as B.

		 Page Range Examples w/o Handles:
		 1-endE - rotate entire document 90 degrees
		 5 11 20
		 5-25oddW - take odd pages in range, rotate 90 degrees
		 6-1

		 Page Range Examples Using Handles:
		 Say A=in1.pdf B=in2.pdf, then:
		 A1-21
		 Bend-1odd
		 A72
		 A1-21 Beven A72
		 AW - rotate entire document 90 degrees
		 B
		 A2-30evenL  -	take  the even pages from the range, remove 90
		 degrees from each page's rotation
		 A A
		 AevenW AoddE
		 AW BW BD

	  attach_files <attachment filenames | PROMPT> [to_page <page number |
	  PROMPT>]
		 Packs arbitrary files into a PDF using PDF's file  attachment
		 features.  More  than	one  attachment  may  be  listed after
		 attach_files. Attachments are added  at  the  document  level
		 unless  the  optional	to_page option is given, in which case
		 the files are attached to the given page  number  (the  first
		 page is 1, the final page is end). For example:

		 pdftk	in.pdf	attach_files table1.html table2.html to_page 6
		 output out.pdf

	  unpack_files
		 Copies all of the attachments from the  input	PDF  into  the
		 current  folder or to an output directory given after output.
		 For example:

		 pdftk report.pdf unpack_files output ~/atts/

		 or, interactively:

		 pdftk report.pdf unpack_files output PROMPT

	  burst  Splits a single, input PDF document  into  individual	pages.
		 Also creates a report named doc_data.txt which is the same as
		 the output from dump_data.  If the output section is omitted,
		 then  PDF  pages  are	named: pg_%04d.pdf, e.g.: pg_0001.pdf,
		 pg_0002.pdf, etc.  To name these  pages  yourself,  supply  a
		 printf-styled	format	string	via  the  output section.  For
		 example, if you want pages named:  page_01.pdf,  page_02.pdf,
		 etc.,	pass output page_%02d.pdf to pdftk.  Encryption can be
		 applied to the output by appending  output  options  such  as
		 owner_pw, e.g.:

		 pdftk in.pdf burst owner_pw foopass

	  fill_form <FDF data filename | XFDF data filename | - | PROMPT>
		 Fills	the  single input PDF's form fields with the data from
		 an FDF file, XFDF file or  stdin.  Enter  the	data  filename
		 after	fill_form,  or	use - to pass the data via stdin, like
		 so:

		 pdftk form.pdf fill_form data.fdf output form.filled.pdf

		 After filling a form,	the  form  fields  remain  interactive
		 unless you also use the flatten output option. flatten merges
		 the form fields with the  PDF	pages.	You  can  use  flatten
		 alone, too, but only on a single PDF:

		 pdftk form.pdf fill_form data.fdf output out.pdf flatten

		 or:

		 pdftk form.filled.pdf output out.pdf flatten

		 If  the  input  FDF file includes Rich Text formatted data in
		 addition to plain text, then the Rich	Text  data  is	packed
		 into  the  form fields as well as the plain text.  Pdftk also
		 sets a flag that cues Acrobat/Reader to  generate  new  field
		 appearances  based on the Rich Text data.  That way, when the
		 user opens the PDF, the viewer  will  create  the  Rich  Text
		 fields  on  the spot.	If the user's PDF viewer does not sup-
		 port Rich Text, then the user will see the  plain  text  data
		 instead.   If	you  flatten  this  form  before Acrobat has a
		 chance to create (and save) new field appearances,  then  the
		 plain text field data is what you'll see.

	  background <background PDF filename | - | PROMPT>
		 Applies  a  PDF watermark to the background of a single input
		 PDF.  Pass the background  PDF's  filename  after  background
		 like so:

		 pdftk in.pdf background back.pdf output out.pdf

		 Pdftk	uses  only  the first page from the background PDF and
		 applies it to every page of the  input  PDF.	This  page  is
		 scaled  and rotated as needed to fit the input page.  You can
		 use - to pass a background PDF into pdftk via stdin.

		 If the input PDF does not have a transparent background (such
		 as  a	PDF  created from page scans) then the resulting back-
		 ground won't be visible -- use the stamp feature instead.

	  stamp <stamp PDF filename | - | PROMPT>
		 This behaves just like the background feature except it over-
		 lays  the  stamp  PDF page on top of the input PDF document's
		 pages.  This works best if the stamp PDF page has a transpar-
		 ent background.

	  dump_data
		 Reads	a  single,  input PDF file and reports various statis-
		 tics, metadata, bookmarks (a/k/a outlines), and  page	labels
		 to  the  given  output filename or (if no output is given) to
		 stdout.  Does not create a new PDF.

	  dump_data_fields
		 Reads a single, input PDF file and reports form field statis-
		 tics  to the given output filename or (if no output is given)
		 to stdout.  Does not create a new PDF.

	  generate_fdf
		 Reads a single, input PDF file and generates a FDF file suit-
		 able  for fill_form out of it to the given output filename or
		 (if no output is given) to stdout.  Does  not	create	a  new
		 PDF.

	  update_info <info data filename | - | PROMPT>
		 Changes the metadata stored in a single PDF's Info dictionary
		 to match the input data file. The input data  file  uses  the
		 same  syntax  as  the	output	from  dump_data. This does not
		 change the metadata stored in the PDF's XMP stream, if it has
		 one. For example:

		 pdftk in.pdf update_info in.info output out.pdf

       [output <output filename | - | PROMPT>]
	      The  output  PDF filename may not be set to the name of an input
	      filename. Use - to output to stdout.  When using	the  dump_data
	      operation,  use  output to set the name of the output data file.
	      When using the unpack_files operation, use  output  to  set  the
	      name  of	an  output directory.  When using the burst operation,
	      you can use output to control the resulting PDF  page  filenames
	      (described above).

       [encrypt_40bit | encrypt_128bit]
	      If  an  output  PDF  user or owner password is given, output PDF
	      encryption strength defaults to 128 bits.  This can be  overrid-
	      den by specifying encrypt_40bit.

       [allow <permissions>]
	      Permissions  are applied to the output PDF only if an encryption
	      strength is specified or an owner or user password is given.  If
	      permissions  are	not  specified,  they default to 'none,' which
	      means all of the following features are disabled.

	      The permissions section may include one or more of the following
	      features:

	      Printing
		     Top Quality Printing

	      DegradedPrinting
		     Lower Quality Printing

	      ModifyContents
		     Also allows Assembly

	      Assembly

	      CopyContents
		     Also allows ScreenReaders

	      ScreenReaders

	      ModifyAnnotations
		     Also allows FillIn

	      FillIn

	      AllFeatures
		     Allows  the  user	to  perform  all of the above, and top
		     quality printing.

       [owner_pw <owner password | PROMPT>]

       [user_pw <user password | PROMPT>]
	      If an encryption strength is given but  no  passwords  are  sup-
	      plied,  then  the  owner	and user passwords remain empty, which
	      means that the resulting PDF may	be  opened  and  its  security
	      parameters altered by anybody.

       [compress | uncompress]
	      These  are  only useful when you want to edit PDF code in a text
	      editor like vim or emacs.  Remove PDF page stream compression by
	      applying	the  uncompress  filter.  Use  the  compress filter to
	      restore compression.

       [flatten]
	      Use this option to merge an input PDF's interactive form	fields
	      (and their data) with the PDF's pages. Only one input PDF may be
	      given. Sometimes used with the fill_form operation.

       [keep_first_id | keep_final_id]
	      When combining pages  from  multiple  PDFs,  use	one  of  these
	      options  to  copy the document ID from either the first or final
	      input document into the new output PDF. Otherwise pdftk  creates
	      a  new  document	ID  for  the  output PDF. When no operation is
	      given, pdftk always uses the ID from the (single) input PDF.

       [drop_xfa]
	      If your input PDF is a form created using  Acrobat  7  or  Adobe
	      Designer,  then  it  probably has XFA data.  Filling such a form
	      using pdftk yields a PDF with data  that	fails  to  display  in
	      Acrobat  7  (and	6?).  The workaround solution is to remove the
	      form's XFA data, either before you fill the form using pdftk  or
	      at the time you fill the form. Using this option causes pdftk to
	      omit the XFA data from the output PDF form.

	      This option is only useful when running pdftk on a single  input
	      PDF.   When  assembling  a PDF from multiple inputs using pdftk,
	      any XFA data in the input is automatically omitted.

       [verbose]
	      By default, pdftk runs quietly. Append verbose to the end and it
	      will speak up.

       [dont_ask | do_ask]
	      Depending on the compile-time settings (see ASK_ABOUT_WARNINGS),
	      pdftk might prompt you for further input when  it  encounters  a
	      problem,	such as a bad password. Override this default behavior
	      by adding dont_ask (so pdftk won't ask you what to do) or do_ask
	      (so pdftk will ask you what to do).

	      When  running in dont_ask mode, pdftk will over-write files with
	      its output without notice.

EXAMPLES
       Decrypt a PDF
	 pdftk secured.pdf input_pw foopass output unsecured.pdf

       Encrypt a PDF using 128-bit strength (the default), withhold  all  per-
       missions (the default)
	 pdftk 1.pdf output 1.128.pdf owner_pw foopass

       Same as above, except password 'baz' must also be used to  open	output
       PDF
	 pdftk 1.pdf output 1.128.pdf owner_pw foo user_pw baz

       Same as above, except printing is allowed (once the PDF is open)
	 pdftk 1.pdf output 1.128.pdf owner_pw foo user_pw baz allow printing

       Join in1.pdf and in2.pdf into a new PDF, out1.pdf
	 pdftk in1.pdf in2.pdf cat output out1.pdf
	 or (using handles):
	 pdftk A=in1.pdf B=in2.pdf cat A B output out1.pdf
	 or (using wildcards):
	 pdftk *.pdf cat output combined.pdf

       Remove 'page 13' from in1.pdf to create out1.pdf
	 pdftk in.pdf cat 1-12 14-end output out1.pdf
	 or:
	 pdftk A=in1.pdf cat A1-12 A14-end output out1.pdf

       Apply 40-bit  encryption  to  output,  revoking	all  permissions  (the
       default). Set the owner PW to 'foopass'.
	 pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf cat output 3.pdf encrypt_40bit owner_pw foopass

       Join two files, one of which requires the password 'foopass'. The  out-
       put is not encrypted.
	 pdftk A=secured.pdf 2.pdf input_pw A=foopass cat output 3.pdf

       Uncompress PDF page streams for editing the PDF in a text editor (e.g.,
       vim, emacs)
	 pdftk doc.pdf output doc.unc.pdf uncompress

       Repair a PDF's corrupted XREF table and stream lengths, if possible
	 pdftk broken.pdf output fixed.pdf

       Burst  a  single  PDF  document	into  pages  and  dump	its  data   to
       doc_data.txt
	 pdftk in.pdf burst

       Burst a single PDF document into  encrypted  pages.  Allow  low-quality
       printing
	 pdftk in.pdf burst owner_pw foopass allow DegradedPrinting

       Write a report on PDF document metadata and bookmarks to report.txt
