As such, it can be considered as a major upgrade to the original program.

libiconv2.dll does not seem to in setup. Works without it.

Cornflower on 2020-10-14 10:44

Works in Windows 10, but noticed recently that it creates a folder in the temp location
%TEMP%\pdftkb

I haven't found any files created in that location, observing it during a few tests; it is just an empty folder., so PDFTK Builder is not completely stealth in Windows 10 (still my favourite PDF utility since 2003)

Note about the 2.3 update: definitely takes full advantage of multi-processor systems. I tested it on Win7x64 with an i7 quad core and it got very close to 90% (few programs can do that). Definitely a big speed bonus over time there and good to see those kind of optimizations in freeware.

I am using Firefox 57 Developer Edition and it do not finds the history. How to do it?

webfork on 2017-10-29 22:10

@apometron: this program may not be compatible with the Mozilla nightly builds, especially as there have been some rather intense changes to the FFox code of recent.

Like everything else that Nir Sofer writes, it's great. No fancy interface, no install/uninstall, no cluttering of the registry, etc., etc. It simply does what it says it will do. Period.

Trying to download the zip file, a Firefox warning says: "This file may harm your computer. This file is disguised as a helpful download, but it can make unexpected changes to your programs and settings".
This is the first time I see this FF warning...
