Hi William,

Sorry about the delayed response, but I was on vacation a while back and
never caught up with the ports mailing list messages until today.  Your
direct message was filtered into the same folder, so I missed that one
as well.

Anyway, could you try running pdftk with truss so I can see what's going
on at the system call level?  The command is:

truss -f -a -s 256 -o /tmp/pdftk.log /usr/local/bin/pdftk <your args>

Once pdftk exits with the error, please post /tmp/pdftk.log somewhere
and send a link back here. That should help start the troubleshooting
process.

Thank you,
Greg
