Bug Description
Reason for the backport:
=======
pdftk was removed from Debian and Ubuntu [1] due to the removal of one of its build-dep: GCJ. It was replaced by a new source package: pdftk-java [2].
Unfortunately, pdftk-java was not ready in time for Bionic. So, Bionic is the only Ubuntu release without any working pdftk package which is very annoying.

[2] https:/
Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
* bionic:
[x] pdftk-java builds without modification
[x] pdftk-java installs cleanly and runs
No reverse dependencies (included on this request).

-------
Related to Bug #Bug #1757314, where pdftk was removed due to deprecated dependencies in Debian, see (https:/
Later Ubuntu releases (Cosmic, Bionic) have moved over to pdftk-java as Debian has started using pdftk-java.
Once pdftk-java packaged for 18.04.02 then Bug #1764450, request for pdftk being re-introduced.

description: | updated |
I have downloaded the Cosmic pdftk-java package and managed to install in on 18.04.2.
Needed to install the following packages with apt-get --fix-broken to get it working:
*libbcprov-java lang3-java parent- java
*libcommons-
*libcommons-
*libapache-pom-java
I intend to re-package pdftk-java for 18.04 and get it included in the repo.
