mbtPdfAsm version 1.0.28 available (port) (Announce)

On 16 October 2008 I finished my 32-bit DOS port of Thierry Schmit's mbtPdfAsm version 1.0.28 using DJGPP version 2.04 beta.

I've tested concatenating PDF files in script mode (option '-s'). Anything else is untested!

A binary and fully configured sources plus some simple instructions on how to rebuild are available at http://www.bttr-software.de/ports/. Documentation is available online only at mbtPdfAsm: the application and examples. If anybody wants to contribute some nice documentation in Halibut or GNU Roff format, please contact me by e-mail.

About: This tool acts of a in line tool for assembling/merging pdf files, extract informations form PDF files, update PDF files metadata.

So what exactly is it supposed to do ? Just merge and split PDF's, no PDF creation from plain text or HTML, and no conversion from PDF back to plain text or HTML, right ?

Didn't you understand the above?

Exactly. I've used it for my job application.
