pdftk on Centos 7

[Bob Tennent]

Does anyone know why this isn't available? I was able to do it myself
as follows:

Download pdftk-1.44-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm and libgcj-4.4.7-17.el6.x86_64.rpm

$ rpm2cpio libgcj-4.4.7-17.el6.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
$ sudo cp usr/lib64/libgcj.so.10.0.0 /usr/local/lib64
$ cd /usr/local/lib64
$ sudo ln -s libgcj.so.10.0.0 libgcj.so.10
$ sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib64

then

$ sudo rpm -i --nodeps pdftk-1.44-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm


Is there an easier way? I can't find a src.rpm for pdftk.
