As of tonight, pdftk-1.41-13.fc10.i386
is now in the Fedora ‘updates’ repository, so you should just be able to yum install it.

Another Fedora 10 success report. Thanks for this!

To clarify, “wait out all the warnings” on my machine (1.8Ghz Core Duo) meant a wait of >30 minutes. Seems very wrong, but pdftk installed and works fine.

Also, it looks like pdftk is close to being included in the Fedora distro: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485641

Yes, thanks for this. We had been stumped by the awesome errors, and this did this trick.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that this also works for Fedora Core 10. I googled a bit and couldn’t find either an RPM or a source RPM that would compile on FC10. This one compiles fine and seems to work OK on Fedora 10.

Regards,
