[arch-general] Anyone building pdftk for Archlinux?

[Andrei Thorp]

Basically, you click "download Tarball", unpack the tarball, cd into
the directory and do "makepkg -s"

This will download the sources, build the package as per PKGBUILD
script, and gives you the resulting Arch package. pacman -U pkg_file
will install it.

Cheers!
