## Build PDFtk Server from Source
|
|
|
|
PDFtk Server can be compiled from its source code. PDFtk Server is known to compile and run on [Debian](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=pdftk), [Ubuntu Linux](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pdftk), [FreeBSD](https://www.freshports.org/print/pdftk/), Slackware Linux, SuSE, Solaris and [HP-UX](http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Text/pdftk-1.45/).
|
|
|
|
Download and unpack the source:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -LO https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/pdftk-2.02-src.zip
|
|
unzip pdftk-2.02-src.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Review the [pdftk license information](https://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-license/) in: `license_gpl_pdftk/readme.txt`.
|
|
|
|
Review the Makefile provided for your platform and confirm that `TOOLPATH` and `VERSUFF` suit your installation of gcc/gcj/libgcj. If you run `apropos gcc` and it returns something like `gcc-4.5`, then set `VERSUFF` to `-4.5`. The `TOOLPATH` probably does not need to be set.
|
|
|
|
Change into the `pdftk` sub-directory and run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd pdftk
|
|
make -f Makefile.Debian
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Substitute your platform's Makefile filename as needed.
|
|
|
|
PDFtk has been built using gcc/gcj/libgcj versions 3.4.5, 4.4.1, 4.5.0, and 4.6.3. PDFtk 1.4x fails to build on gcc 3.3.5 due to missing libgcj features. If you are using gcc 3.3 or older, try building [pdftk 1.12](https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/pdftk-1.12.tar.gz) instead.
