Heroku buildpack that will install pdftk into /app/bin on Heroku. Supports heroku-22.

How to use

1. Add this buildpack to your app.
2. Add the libgcj.so.* to your search path: heroku config:set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/bin
3. Use /app/bin/pdftk. BTW, the default PATH includes /app/bin, so this might happen automatically.

How to upgrade PDFTK

Update the tarball_url line in scripts/build.sh

heroku create
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/dgmdan/heroku-buildpack-apt
git push heroku master

Now you'll have a new Heroku app on the default stack that runs the scripts/build.sh script in this buildpack. That script will download the most recent PDFTK source and configure it with default options.

Use heroku logs -t to see when compilation is done. It'll start showing dots..

heroku open

1. Download the generated pdftk.zip
2. Chmod +x them
3. put them into binaries-$STACK/ into this buildpack. $STACK shall be the name of your stack as given in the Heroku $STACK variable.

heroku ps:scale web=0 to turn off the dyno.

Differences between this and the original repo

• no binaries included in this buildpack
• this repo relies on heroku-buildpack-apt for installation of apt packages, rather than including .deb's for these packages in this buildpack. You must add heroku-buildpack-apt and it must be before heroku-pdftk-buildpack in your app's buildpacks.
