Separates into individual files May not be ideal, but you can use pdfunite with it to achieve what you're trying to do.

Port pdftk to openjdk? Not sure why it depends on gcj didn't look at it in detail.

So pdftk 2.02 already port to openjdk ! , we could undeprecated pdftk [1] and update to 2.02, checking pdftk.spec from 2.02 is pretty cool spec

It still uses gcj, still bundles lots of java. Sorry , I don't know where I had my mind BuildRequires: gcc BuildRequires: gcc-java BuildRequires: libgcj BuildRequires: libgcj-devel BuildRequires: gcc-c++ #Requires: jre-gcj Requires: libstdc++ libgcj so I was trying rebuild pdftk-1.44-11.fc19 with openjdk , when I mixed up things compiling pdftk.spec ends up with attachments.cc:33:21: fatal error: gcj/cni.h: No such file or directory #include <gcj/cni.h> ^ when I saw that pdftk have a major update, I though in a miracle :)
