Examples about pypdftk HOT 3 CLOSED

Looks like pdftk binary is not installed on your system

You have to have pdftk.exe installed and define the environnement variable PDFTK_PATH to point to it so the library can find it (see https://github.com/revolunet/pypdftk/blob/master/pypdftk.py#L15)

Okay it may not have since I installed via pip

@revolunet any idea about this error I got after installing pdftk
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think it must fail with a better message.

Maybe check if the executable exist. Calling PDFTK_PATH without parameters exit the process with exit_code=0, but it fails if pdftk is not there.
