What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Added new feature for collating PDF page scans: shuffle. Please see the man page for usage details.
· Introduced update_info_utf8, dump_data_utf8 and dump_data_fields_utf8 to provide UTF-8 companions to update_info, dump_data and dump_data_fields. These latter operations use XML numerical entities to encode non-ASCII characters. In version 1.43, we changed the encoding for update_info to UTF-8, but that made it incompatible with dump_data and also broke some downstream applications. By introducing these UTF-8 operations, we can revert update_info to its original behavior.
· Burst feature now copies the metadata (including XMP) from the input file to the output pages.
· Updated Bouncy Castle library to 1.45.
· Removed or replaced third-party code that wasn’t compatible with pdftk’s GPL license.
· Updated third-party license information.
