@ Joe: Thanks ... and updated ;)
v3.6
PDFTK Builder works in Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8.1 x64 too.
v3.6
pdftk Builder 3.6 will not break with pdftk 1.44 in my use of it. However, I would really love to use multibackground and multistamp (the main visible additions to 1.4. which Builder 3.6 was built upon). I still haven't found a gui for Windows that takes this into account, so I am using batch files for this specific purpose.
V3.6
The pdftk.exe that comes with this great GUI has moved up 2 versions.
see here: http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-version-history/
Is Angus going to update the included pdftk or utilise the new features, improvements & bug fixes
or should users drop in the new pdftk.exe themselves. Is it even compatible?
Can this all time favourite utility be improved upon - Thanks Angus
V3.6
Hey folks, check the real portable version:
http://portableapps.com/news/2009-08-10_-_pdftk_builder_portable_3.6
Did exactly what I needed it to do. Well-done intuitive user interface.
Tried it, wonderful program but it does write to the registry.
So it isn't realy stealth
The link to Universal Extractor is a bit Catch 22 isn't it? Downloaded it and tried to run it, but it also demands administrator rights.
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)
v3.10.0
